Operating out of Orlando, Florida and Washington, DC, the fittingly monikered ODD CIRCUS<\/strong> explores the suspension of space and time through sound. Forged in improvisation, the band\u2019s music navigates a boundary-less sonic landscape that embraces the unknown and welcomes the bizarre. The result is an experimental style of psychedelic art-rock that weaves its way into garage, fusion, krautrock, no wave, post-rock, noise, hard psych, and sci-fi prog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band \u2013 saxophonist Graham Robertson (Aztec Sun, Bad Luck Gold, Tuff Lover, Astrocero), drummer Partin Whitaker (Prison Wine, We’re So Hip, ex-Diocious, ex-Savi Fernandez Band), and bassist\/sound engineer Crews Carter (Prison Wine) \u2013 released their full-length debut Lunatic Children<\/em> in 2019 and have since amassed a cult following on Instagram. ODD CIRCUS<\/strong> reentered Sanitone Studio in Orlando, Florida in July of last year to kick off the first of a series of releases from these sessions beginning with this Spring\u2019s Mantha<\/em> EP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notes ODD CIRCUS<\/strong> of first single, \u201cAmarok,” \u201cWhen you’re deep in improvisation and things lock into place, the music can suddenly feel like some mysterious creature stopping in for a visit. Every track on Mantha<\/em> represents one of these little visitations, and \u2018Amarok\u2019 \u2014 a gigantic wolf from Inuit mythology that preys on lone hunters \u2014 is a pretty fitting metaphor for the way this moment unfolded. Emerging from a long and absolutely chaotic noise jam, \u2018Amarok\u2019 bided its time, stalked us, and as soon as it was ready, ate us alive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compiled from free improvisations performed live, Mantha<\/em> was recorded by the band, mixed by Crews Carter and ODD CIRCUS<\/strong>, and mastered by Joseph Carra at Crystal Mastering (Melbourne, Australia) with cover art by Katharina Maisenbacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mantha<\/em><\/strong> will be released digitally via the band\u2019s own Good Idea Music April 2nd. Find preorders at the ODD CIRCUS Bandcamp page at <\/strong>THIS LOCATION<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
