Intercepted Message is the twenty-seventh studio album by American garage rock band Osees, released on August 18, 2023, by In the Red Records.
[3] Edwin McFee of Hot Press called it "a fun romp down memory lane, from a band who refuse to remain in one place for too long" and concluded that "while not everything hits the mark, Intercepted Message is still an enjoyable chapter in the group's storied career".
[1] David Gill of Riff Magazine wrote that the album "tempers the lo-fi punk energy of 2022's Metamorphosed with synthesizers and silliness" and "some of the songs offer obvious, new influences".
[7] Guia Cortassa of Loud and Quiet called it "a pity that [Dwyer's] bombastic promises were not kept in the music.
[5] Pitchfork's Evan Minsker wrote that "from synth pop to new wave to disco, the shapeshifting rock band goes all in on its keyboard album", but concluded that "the threads that bind these songs are loose and inconsistent, which might be given for a band that moves fast and jumps from one subgenre micro-era to the next".
