OddZoo stream 'Future Flesh' in full ahead of the album release
Post-wave noise trio, ODDZOO, are streaming their upcoming album, Future Flesh,in full via Pop Matters. The 11 track album effortlessly blends the project's deep influences in synth, indie pop, experimental noise, post punk, and hardcore; the band touches upon the best moments of The Soft Moon, M83, A Perfect Circle, and Cult of Luna. Future Flesh will be released October 12 via Blood Music.
Of the album, the band comments:
"Future Flesh is our first LP, it sounds heavy, noisy and raw with straightforward psychedelic lyrics. We didn't have a specific plan at the beginning; we just wanted to mix all of our very different musical backgrounds into the same band. Some of us are coming from the hardcore metal noise scene and others from the shoegaze rock scene. New wave was the common musical field for all of us. We are really proud of this first album, as I assume that we have a proper sound/identity, which is the most difficult part when you create a band and write a record. Also, we tried to keep a personal sound as much as possible by creating our own virtual synths based on guitar noise, unusual mix, and violent distorted drums and bass.
We're really excited to be signed on Blood Music. We have high expectations of how the album will be received. Now we're impatient to go on tour and play it live!"
Emerging from France's vibrant electro scene, ODDZOO's debut full-length marks the coming of a powerful new voice. That voice may seem somewhat familiar - quite literally - given that ODDZOO collaborated vocally with Perturbator for the track Vantablack and Carpenter Brut on Anarchy Road.
Completed over the course of several years, the album was mixed by the band, and mastering duties were handled by Cult of Luna's own drummer and internal engineer – Magnus Lindberg. The band's debut is a carefully-plotted and incredible amalgamation of noise and experimentation.
Like nothing Blood Music has ever brought out before, this is for those who grew up enjoying the noisier side of Pavement or the softer side of Crystal Castles, as well as those with an interest in Dadaism and the otherworldly atmospheres of bands like Astronoid.
