San Francisco’s John Dwyer used to push primitive blues-rock to ultraraucous extremes in Coachwhips. His current band, Thee Oh Sees (formerly OCS), also draws on vintage styles—woozy ’50s-style pop, Troggs-like stomp—but it funnels them into something hushed and pervasively eerie. Sucks Blood brims with oddities like “What the Driven Drink,” in which Dwyer and Brigid Dawson croon like teen lovers at the soda fountain, even as weird wisps of sculpted static drift by. “The Gouger” juxtaposes cryptically ominous lyrics with pillowy, old-timey reverb and a twinkling guitar lead. Many a savage punk has gone tame with age, but that evolution rarely has this kind of intoxicating power. — Hank Shteamer
