Odonis Odonis, have announced their new album. Ahead of the release, the band have shared their new single “Check My Profile.” The track is off their forthcoming release No Pop. The full-length is being released by felte (worldwide excluding Canada) and Telephone Explosion (Canada) on October 20, 2017.

Odonis Odonis on the “Check My Profile”

“The song was originally meant to be an instrumental and the vocals were added last minute. Lyrically, it’s a tongue-in-cheek take on how we’ve replaced human interactions with people onto social media platforms. It touches on the side effects of depression, anxiety and the confusing nature of the online dating world that have ultimately left us unfulfilled.”

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 expiration 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.
