Release Notes:
--------------
Odonis Odonis have proven time and time again that theyÆre not interested in
doing the same thing twice. Since their beginnings, the Toronto outfit led by
core duo Constantin Tzenos and Denholm Whale, have put out five full-length
albums, and played countless shows and festivals across North America and
Europe, all while following their musical instincts. In the past eleven years,
theyÆve thrillingly explored genres including post-punk, EBM, industrial,
shoegaze, pop, and surf rock. For their next evolution, Odonis Odonis are
shifting from the grind of the traditional music industry with its unsustainable
physical and psychological demands, to strictly focus on meaningful creative
endeavors. These include releasing music, album production, and event
production, and draw on Tzenos and WhaleÆs collective talents and experience.
From producing, scoring, and mastering at TzenosÆs new studio After Hours, to
countless curated shows through WhaleÆs co-run concert company Transmit
Presents, these past and forthcoming projects were chosen selectively, and with
the intention of working with individuals they respect and admire.
Out June 9th on Pirates Blend (Canada) & Felte, the duo describe their
forthcoming collaborative EP ICON as a ôcalling card,ö and it perfectly
encapsulates the new iteration of Odonis Odonis. Following their 2021 album
Spectrums, they started working on this collection of five songs, writing them
geared towards some of their favorite veteran and up-and coming artists. ôWe
wanted to bring out what we admire in them and prove that we can do a variety of
styles,ö explains Whale. Some like New York noise rock mainstays A Place to Bury
Strangers, Pittsburgh experimentalist TOBACCO, and Vancouver post-punks ACTORS,
theyÆve previously shared stages and tour vans with, while others like Vancouver
darkwave singer and pianist Terror Bird and Los Angeles industrial pop project
Patriarchy, are more recent discoveries. The striking artwork comes courtesy of
New York-based noise artist Dreamcrusher, another act who shares Whale and
TzenosÆ community-minded ethos. Somewhat ironically, by shedding their skin as a
band, the duo have embraced the individual spotlight more, and ICON marks the
first chapter (with further collaborations to come) of this new Odonis Odonis
era.
