2 is the second studio album by American
garage rock band
Osees, released on June 14, 2004, on
Narnack Records. Released under the name, OCS, the album was recorded entirely by
John Dwyer as a side-project to his then-primary band,
Coachwhips.
Critical reception
In a positive review for Allmusic, Alex Henderson wrote: "2 is perhaps best described as an experimental, oddly appealing mixture of
folk-rock and avant-garde
noise rock. On these recordings – which were made over a two-year period from 2001–2003 – Dwyer plays a calm, reflective, even pastoral acoustic guitar that interacts with bizarre collages of dissonant electro-noise. [...] This enjoyably intriguing, if slightly uneven, release makes one hope that Dwyer will have more OCS projects outside of
Coachwhips."[1]
