A decade after the release of their debut album Deluxe, Omni, the duo comprised of Philip Frobos (bass and vocals) and Frankie Broyles (guitars, drums, keys), are back to celebrate with a two-disc reissue. Deluxe (10 Year Anniversary Edition) arives on October 2nd via Coliseum Records / Danger Collective, and features all 10 original album tracks and their demos, plus 2017 singles, “Fever Bass” and “Thesis,” and two previously unreleased songs, “Loud Talking” and “Coliseum.”

Omni began as a way for Philip Frobos (bass + vocals) and Frankie Broyles (guitars + drums + keys) to practice creative spontaneity in contrast to the slower meticulous methods their other bands employed. One fateful night in 2013, the then-roommates devised an Eno-inspired creative game: Would it be possible to write an entire song (arrangement + lyrics, etc.) all in one three hour night session? Whereas most bands begin sculpting a riff or progression brought in by one member, Omni revelled at the chance to begin each songwriting session with a true tabula rosa with no goal in mind except trusting the process. These sessions often began with a melodic bass line that was then quickly complemented by syncopated pointillist guitar (Frankie almost never voices full chords on guitar in Omni). Philip would then retreat to a quiet area to write lyrics as quickly as possible while Frankie worked on writing and recording the drum parts. Seeking the definitive by chance, any accidents that happened in the takes became baked into the song’s arrangements; An extra measure here or resting a beat too long there forced the band to come up with creative musical solutions.

In 2016, Omni signed with Chicago’s Trouble in Mind Records and released ‘Deluxe’. The band soon found themselves playing to rapturous audiences in the states and Europe, thanks to the brilliant singles ‘Afterlife’ and ‘Wire’. Omni followed up ‘Deluxe’ with the equally inspired ‘Multi-task’ (written speedily before ‘Deluxe’ was even released) and eventually the expansive and captivating LP’s Networker and Souvenir on Sub Pop. Frankie and Philip are currently working on their fifth album…
