Omni announce new album and share 'Equestrian' - listen here
Atlanta, GA trio Omni have announced details of the release of their new album. Multi-task is released on Trouble In Mind on Friday 22nd September 2017.
Stream new track 'Equestrian' below.
The band charged out of the gate in 2016, stunning everyone within earshot with their debut long-player, Deluxe, a dizzyingly refreshing amalgam of wiry post-punk jitters and a dash of zen cool. Multi-task, being released September 22nd via Trouble in Mind, is their latest offering and all signs point to the coveted goal of “next level.” As with Deluxe, Multi-task was recorded with friend and engineer Nathaniel Higgins at his studio as well as 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 and Frobos’ dead-cool delivery while expanding their musical palette and to include whispers of post-Roxy glam and Postcard Records pop. Multi-task balances the band’s trademark off-kilter and unconventional jams with an elegance not found with many of their contemporaries. Their underlying seductive sophistication creates an aura of romance that many post-punk bands dare not tread, and Omni pulls it off with grace and style. Their minimalist funk-fused agit-pop whirrs while simultaneously creating an album that is awash in the excitement of new love, or fleeting attraction.
