While firmly rooted in the present, Vancouver, BC group Odds certainly know a thing about the past. Founded in 1987 with their first album release in 1991 the group has spanned over 30 years of not only music but culture. The group also made the soundtrack for cult classic sketch series Kids In The Hall as well as Brent Butt’s Corner Gas series.Now, Odds are thrilled to finally unveil their long-awaited seventh studio album, Crash the Time Machine – listen now. As the title implies, this new release firmly embraces the future and the possibilities of catharsis. “We seem to, for some reason, resolve even our most dire songs with a weird sense of optimism, at least that’s what we hope happens.” says singer and guitarist Northey.Experiencing the loss of cherished, long-time friends such as Spirit of the West’s John Mann, the defiantly joyful highlighted track “Staring at a Blank Page” brings to bear that one could deal with immovable obstacles by altering one’s own perspective. What can’t physically change can be metaphysically changed.
