Buffalo, NY's Odiorne began as a side project for original
Mercury Rev member Jimy Chambers prior to his departure from
the band in 1998. Chambers recorded with Dave Fridmann
(Mercury Rev, Flaming Lips) and it resulted in the Odiorne EP
Want Them Leaving More, released in 2001 on Everlasting
Records. Chambers' credits as a songwriting contributor to
Mercury Rev include the singles "Something For Joey" and the
UK-charting "Delta Sun Bottleneck Stomp" from the Deserters'
Songs LP. In Odiorne, Chambers has traded in his duties as
drummer and now fills the role as guitarist, keyboardist and
vocalist. The rest of the band consists of Mike Bouquard on
bass and Moog, Brandon Delmont on drums, and Jared Rumsey on
electric piano.
Odiorne's debut album Heavy Wish was produced by the band and
Bill Racine at Tarbox Road Studios. The album features
arrangements and guest performances by Mercury Rev's Jonathan
Donahue and Anthony Molina, as well as Bill Racine, Jason
Molina (Longwave), James Burgess, and many more. The music of
Heavy Wish features intricate arrangements with symphonic
treatments on top of heavy backbeats. Each member contributes
their influence and the results are elements of rock,
avant-experimentalism, jazz and post-punk. Comparisons are far
ranging from "a well-orchestrated version of Joy Division" to
"a mixture of Serge Gainsbourg and the Seeds."
