SORCS 80 is the 2024 album by Osees, released on Castle Face Records Departing from their guitar-driven roots, the band embraced a bold new direction, crafting an album devoid of guitars, instead utilizing synthesizers, samplers, and a dynamic brass section. This sonic evolution was driven by frontman John Dwyer, who sought to reinvigorate the band's creative process during challenging times. The result is a raw, sci-fi-infused sound that blends elements of Dexys Midnight Runners, Von LMO, The Flesh Eaters, and The Screamers
