New music from Odd Army

Daring, powerful and energising are just a few words that come to mind when trying to capture the essence of Odd Army and their latest single, “Mighty Fine.” This rock quartet has mastered the art of delivering a sound which is at once familiar and refreshingly original. With a foundation rooted in riffs and propelled by a relentless rhythm section, Odd Army creates a psychedelic landscape that dances with the nuances of human emotion.

Formed officially in 2013, Odd Army is comprised of four close friends who’ve been jamming together since childhood. Their musical journey has taken them from the Golden Gate to the scenic shores of the central coast, and now they find themselves in the thriving city of Los Angeles. Their infectious grooves incite movement and their love for music continues to grow and unite them with their audience.

“Mighty Fine” serves as the lead single off their upcoming album and it exemplifies the signature Odd Army sound. The track bursts with driving riffs, high-energy instrumental breaks, and occasional musical detours while lyrically, the song acts as a reflection on the driving force in one’s life; questioning whether one is actively pursuing fulfilment or simply being directed by circumstance. Odd Army strikes a balance between beauty and dejection, infusing moments of soul-stirring brilliance into their thick guitar riffs and pounding drums. They explore the depths of their emotional treasury, offering different interpretations that reflect their own experiences.

Recorded at Real 2 Reel Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, with Will Turpin of Collective Soul producing, “Mighty Fine” opens with an earworm distorted guitar riff accompanied by a groovy bass line that sets the tone for the song. Heavy pounding drums join in, elevating the track to another level of intensity. The reverb-heavy vocals resonate with yearning and passion as they belt out, “Bend me over backwards… chew me up… spit me out.”

The song is filled with fuzz and distorted guitars that fill the empty spaces, creating an immersive sonic experience. A modulated guitar solo that channels the style of Jack White adds another layer of depth to the composition. The melodies flow seamlessly throughout the track, enticing listeners to hit the repeat button. “Mighty Fine” captures their unique blend of alternative rock with psychedelic undertones, showcasing their musical prowess and captivating songwriting.

Overall, “Mighty Fine” is a record that hits hard, swelling and crashing with a ripple of emotions. The vocals seamlessly blend with the electric guitars and pulsating drums, setting a benchmark for their future releases. Listening to Odd Army is a rewarding experience, as their familiar rock textures remind us that the genre is still evolving and always exciting. With their biting sound and powerful presence, Odd Army establishes themselves as a talented band on the rise in the world of modern alternative rock music.
