Los Angeles band Oh Sees return with Protean Threat on September 18, 2020. Performed in full and streamed online for quarantiners and recluses at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Protean Threat clocks in at less than half of the length of last year's experimental freakout, Face Stabber. Those familiar with the ever-evolving Oh Sees can expect thirteen quick and precise blows to the head with this tightened release. On July 28, 2020, Protean Threat's first single "Dreary Nonsense" was debuted via Castle Face Records.
