Premiere: Stream Odd Nosdam's Stunning New Album in Full'LIF' drops on Burnco Records and Sound In Silence later this month.
Bay Area artist Odd Nosdam will drop his latest album on his own Burnco Records (distributed by Alpha Pup) and Greek label Sound In Silence on July 28.
The album, titled LIF, follows 2015's Music For Raising LP and references a bulk of the Anticon co-founder's work as a solo artist and in groups such as cLOUDDEAD and Reaching Quiet, as well as various Anticon releases.
Across ten emotive cuts, and with a sonic palette that has wound its way through effects chains that include tremolos, tape-delays, space echoes, and distressors, LIFhypnotizes the listener, layering loop upon loop to mirror the torrential rainfall the Bay Area was receiving during the time of recording. Through these hazy and foggy pieces of ambient bliss, Odd Nosdam pulls the listener into waves of meditation, confusion, and beauty.
LIF will drop on multiple formats on July 28, including digital streaming platforms via Burnco Recs and a limited-edition CD pressing from Sound In Silence. You can pre-order the record here.
Slow Polaroid by Reaching Quiet from In The Shadow Of The Living Room (2002)
There’s unopened mail on the mantle
And no one is saying their hello hellos hello hello today
Girls are contemplating their birth names
Staring intensely at and separately judging
Each printed lonely letter in space
You were riding your bicycle down into Death Valley
While we were drinking warm Cuervo in Vegas
And having our photographs taken
We lost all of our photographs
The first I heard of you
You were playing Hamlet on Starsearch
And placing prank calls to relatively
Obscure celebrities
I feel the need to be photographed
Or to be befriended by a real human being
I can relate to the struggles
Of the modern day centaur
Minus the fame and sexual promiscuity
When no one’s home
I look in a mirror in a mirror
To make sure I still exist from behind
Plus, I got that isolated
Obsessive save the earth lifestyle
Minus the beard, dreads
And organic gardening
