Multi-task

Description

Atlanta, GA trio Omni charges out of the gate in 2016, stunning everyone within earshot with their debut longplayer, Deluxe; a dizzyingly refreshing amalgam of wiry post-punk jitters & a dash of zen cool. Multi-task is their latest off¬ering & all signs point to the coveted goal of next level Guitarist Frankie Broyles (ex-Balkans/Deerhunter) & bassist/vocalist Philip Frobos (Carnivores) crafted Deluxes eleven tracks in their practice space with friend & engineer Nathaniel Higgins Nathaniel truly knows us, what we like and what we should sound like says Frobos. They returned to Higgins for Multi-task, recording basic drum tracks at Higgins home studio & overdubbing bass, guitar, vocals & more during two separate trips to a remote cabin in the woods near Vienna, Georgia. It gave a true peace/piece of mind away from the city Frobos says, We could work with no distractions or limitations at our own pace. Multi-task is a more musically adventurous step forward for the band, keeping the frantic, fleet-fingered fingerpicking of Broyles guitar work & Frobos dead-cool delivery while expanding their musical palette & to include whispers of post-Roxy glam & Postcard Records pop. Multi-task balances the bands trademark off¬-kilter & unconventional jams (Southbound Station, Supermoon) with an elegance not found in many of their contemporaries, songs like Tuxedo Blues & Type, with their underlying seductive sophistication create an aura of romance that many post-punk bands dare not tread. Omni pulls it o¬ with grace & style, still whirring on their minimalist funk-fused agit-pop while creating an album that is awash in the excitement of new love, or fleeting attraction a journey from that dizzying buzz of first date pheromones found twirling on the dance floor to the cab ride cool-down to home (or wherever.)
