Odonis Odonis - Hollandaze

Released: 07/11/2011 FatCat

THe debut from Toronto-based Odonis Odonis is a bricolage of different sounds, the end product of 40 demos whittled down and lovingly drenched in 21st-century production techniques. With a love of distortion and an armful of influences, Hollandaze runs the gauntlet from surf-rock to pop, from effervescent to relentless.

The Quietus“Not an album to quibble about obvious influences...” Their energy is utterly thrilling and Hollandaze hints at so much more and should ensure that Tzenos is not reduced to journalistic footnote of merely being a cuddly version of Big Black...

allmusic“Brings real muscle to noise pop and the 2010s indie surf revival...” Hollandaze is an impressive debut, and since it came from a furious burst of creativity that produced dozens of demos, Odonis Odonis are just getting started...

Clash Music“A blindingly good debut...” Yes, the Odonis Odonis sound is hardly revolutionary, but singer-songwriter Dean Tzenos’ homage to Albini and bands like pre-grunge luminaries Tad is utterly exhilarating...
