Thee Oh Sees track “Lupine Dominus”
requires playing at full volume and directed straight into the inner
most sound receptors of the ears. Its snarling garage-psyche with a
savage drum beat that inspires gyration in every limb, sounding like a Flaming Lips tune on furious-fast-forward. The track
starts with synthesizers at an alarmingly similar frequency to that of a
dog whistle, screaming Gothic organs into life with the drums and bass
breaking into a steady groove with wraith like vocals echoing and cooing above
the fray. The song feels snappy sharp and succinct whilst it also
having the sprawling quality of the vocals to add intimacy and depth, and off kilter
moments that demand a second, third, fourth and fifth replay etching
the song into the brains of its listeners. The track is also
beautifully illustrated by a video in a sleazy strip-joint that seems
to blend perfectly with the primal destructive urges the song
encourages, exhibited in the eyes of the lust fueled revellers which are drawn to the gait
of the dancers. Definitely the most exciting and intoxicating song I have heard in a
while, truly one to blow the cobwebs out of many a dingy dance-hall.
