Odonis Odonis No Pop

Since their blown-out 2011 debut Hollandaze, Toronto trio Odonis Odonis has
continued to push their sound further into the depths of post-apocalyptic
experimentation. Following 2016's foreboding Post Plague, No Pop is the band's
starker, more dance-floor-friendly fourth LP. Executed with precision, every sonic
component of No Pop commands attention. Stripping down instrumentation to a
handful of synths and an electronic drum kit, the band worked quickly to write and
record, bringing demos and improvised takes into the studio and completing the
recording process over the course of three days. The result is a focused blend of
hard-hitting industrial, techno, and noise - but each track on No Pop is never just
one of those elements. Pulsing rhythms lay the ground for textural soundscapes
masterfully woven together to create a palpable sense of doom that is thick and
satisfying. Taking its name from the anti-commercial No Pop movement, which
infers that there "is no expira tion date on music nor is it limited by geographic or
regional boundaries," No Pop is raw with emotion that's elevated by deft
production. Each hypnotizing meditation captures an uncomfortably honest
cynicism with a brush of humor, emphasized by sparse vocals that taunt the
current dystopia of technology, human emptiness and the mundane. No Pop is the
soundtrack of a sinking ship, and we're all happily aboard to go down with it.
