"We shot this video because the best way to face the challenges ahead in earthly life is with a fortified exterior and a gut full of whiskey,” says bassist Weed. “As per usual with the filming of our videos, the band was visited by aliens on the set. Luckily for the band, the aliens seem to be friendly and have a real interest in the music we are creating. (We suspect a few of them are repeat visitors, but we have not made a confirmation quite yet as they all look very similar). The most difficult part of filming this video was consuming the vast amounts of whiskey that was being forced down our throats by the aliens… What started out as a good time in the woods with beings from beyond, quickly became a bit excessive and made the most basic of tasks (standing up, holding an instrument, etc.) difficult. ET tried to negotiate a trade with the aliens to go aboard one of their spacecrafts in return for additional new music about their travels to Earth, but that request was met with blank stares.”
The new album by The OddEven is entitled Darkness, and we had all better strap in and get ready to fly hard and fast. The record is not just a collection of rock tunes, but more a journey to nightmares, dreamscapes, thrill rides, and butcher knives. The hypnotic vocals are strange and addictive, as the guitar work is eerie, fulfilling, uplifting, and bold. That said, it is finally the monstrous bass-oriented groove that defines this record, ignited by a hurricane of exceptional drumming and explosive hooks that bring us deep into the blast radius. Darkness is an invitation, precious and personal like a treasured pattern of body ink, and their suggestion is that we become a part of the experience by letting the music spark our wildest imaginations. They set us free to become exotic savages on distant planets, heroes in a hot-rods playing chicken with the stars, and psychedelic villains chasing shadows to the underworld. They make us want to stand on our chairs with our fists in the air, then go home from the show hoarse and happy. They want us all to keep hold of the groove. They want to make all of us Rock Gods. Darkness was produced by Weed and E.T., alongside Frank Marchand (Fiona Apple, Nils Lofgren) at Waterford Digital, and mastered by Alan Douches (Mastodon, Monster Magnet, Fleetwood Mac) at West West Side Music. The album will be released on January 5, 2024 by Eclipse Records.
