Odonis Odonis
No pop
Odonis Odonis are a Toronto band that have been kicking around awhile now.
They started as yet another Post Punk band but on their last album moved to a more industrial sound.
And while the album wasn’t perfect it had enough face melting music on it to catch my attention and eagerly await this release to see where they went with it.
They’ve only released 2 songs of the new album so far but Nasty Boy is the kind of synth fuelled sleaze that I love from the pop end of industrial.
It’s a slow, crawling beat with a vocal that makes you want wash and will undoubtedly soundtrack some strip club in a B movie at some point.
I have high hopes for this album.
Well worth checking out.

Eyre Llew are from Nottingham and have been kicking round for the last few years putting out singles but this there debut album.
They claim to be an Ambient Rock band but don’t be fooled, this is vocal post rock and a very good incarnation of it.
This is widescreen music, it reminds me of bands like Blueneck and Sigur Ros, pensive but absolutely soars when they let the music lift everything. If the right producer hears this it’s going to be sound tracking Planet Earth 3, something with snow and mountains.
It’s a refreshingly clean sound with the singer’s high register really making the band stand out in a genre that is choking to death on it’s own lack of inovation.
This isn’t reinventing the wheel but it is a great album.
