  1. 9.1 |   Consequence Of Sound

  2. 8.0 |   NME

    The thrill of The Oh Sees isn’t so much in moments of outright mayhem as the way they create a neat equilibrium between chaos and control

  3. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    They’ve donned their thinking caps, and it’s a look that suits ‘em just fine
    Read Review
