Who : Odawas residing in Berkeley, CA. What : From the third album by Odawas entitled The Blue Depths (out Feb. 17th, SC/Jag ), here's a song perfect for this night here in Toronto. Hiding inside from cold weather, glowing street lights and distant city noises. This song (along with the album) was recorded during one of the worst Chicago winters in three decades but signals a sound for warmer places, ' a balmy haze habitat for headphone meanderings '. Wait for the fuzz... [...]

Since Odawas were last on our laptops with the whistling, psychedelic dirge " Alleluia " and the rest of the excellent Raven And The White Night LP, the Indianapolis trio moved to Chicago, cut one member, saw another get married, etc. Then they wrote an album. That's a lot of change we can believe in, if we are to believe in press sheets, so it'd be wrong to expect a Raven: Part Deux followup. These advance tracks from the forthcoming The Blue Depths do see Odawas putting a twist on their Neil Young-on- Sophtware [...]

Nothing is better on a cold Texas Winter day like their new song "Harmless Lover's Discourse" from their new album The Blue Depths . The Odawas recorded the new record in Chicago during one of the coldest winters on record. And the feel of their new track definitely reflects the cold. Don't get me wrong, the song is lush and beautiful, like Jim James on piano. This song really sets the mood for a day like today. MP3: [...]

February 13th (in Ireland at least) sees the release of Odawas' third album The Blue Depths , released on the wonderful Jagjaguwar label. The music is kind of like Neil Young with keyboards. Their third record is warmer and maybe even more accessible than the previous two, and I for one, can't wait for its release.

Odawas - "Harmless Lover's Discourse" Jagjaguwar stalwarts Odawas have a new album, The Blue Depths , out on 2/17. The first MP3 has been released, "Harmless Lover's Discourse," which I will explain thusly for those unfamiliar with the band: it sounds a bit like a laid-back, more atmospheric At Dawn -era My Morning Jacket.

( photo cred : John Moulder ) On February 17, Jagjaguwar will release one of my most anticipated albums of 2009, Odawas ' The Blue Depths . We got a taste of what was to come back in late 2007, when frontman Michael Tapscott replied to our Holiday Interview Series and included an exclusive demo of a new song, The Case of the Great Irish Elk , which now kicks off the new [...]
RCRD LBL's mp3 of the day today is Odawas' Harmless Lover's Discourse. It's airy and soothing and tinged with a slight touch of electro. Its actually a pretty beautiful song, one of the few non techno heavy remixes offered up by RCRD LBL in quite a while. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.

Our latest Christmas tune comes from Chicago-based folk-rockers Odawas, who's sophomore LP, Raven, and The White Night dropped last March. "I Tell Lies" was originally crafted for front man Michael Tapscott's side project, More Animals Of The Arctic, but has...

I've been hooked on Odawas since I first heard the song Kids from their Jagjaguwar debut , The Aether Eater . Since then, they've managed to take their sound to more majestic, cinematic levels, as heard on this years fantastic Raven And The White Night . I still get chills every time the whistling comes in on the album's standout track, Alleluia . Following a recent move from Indianapolis to Chicago, Michael Tapscott and [...]

MOKB's impromptu in-studio week continues. I didn't really mean to put all these up at once, but if I don't get them up soon, I'm going to forget or get caught up in other things. As always, big love to 91.7 WEEM for allowing MOKB Blog Radio to record these sessions. Odawas stopped by the MOKB SIRIUS Blog Radio / 91.7 WEEM studios [...]
Sorry for the delay, but it's that time of the year (NCAA) and I also just found out that a move is in my near future. So unfortunately, posts will be more sporadic. I love just about everything that the Secretly Canadian/Jagjaguwar sister labels release, and I'm anxious to get my hands on the new Odawas record, Raven and the White Night . Cheesy album titles aside, I'm in love with this song and its atmospheric, Ennio Morricone, spaghetti-western vibe. I doubt it'll bowl you over, so give it time to grow. Odawas [...]

while jagjaguwar is known as a very diverse and far-reaching label, the level of variety on the imprint could easily lead to its downfall - is the julie doiron fan also an oneida fan? how many skygreen leopards lps are shipped out with parts & labor cds? will monroe mustang ever release another album? with the new odawas album, jagjaguwar proves that like few other labels, it knows how to stay the course by understanding that music obsessives aren't interested in pigeonholing and genrefication - they are only interested in getting the most for [...]
