“Don’t stop looking like a physical Picasso when you drag your impotence on the street / Don’t drop all that cynical bravado; you need all that self-defense just to breathe” cooes Kent Odessa in the first verse of their newest single, “Bo Jacksons”. With cohesively poetic phrases, modern art references, and a demanding-yet-demeaning tone, many curiosities about band Kent Odessa may fill your mind. Keep in mind that’s before you’ve let yourself imagine what their music sounds like.
Though they don’t try to be a mystery, Brooklyn’s Kent Odessa is a little engima wrapped up in bursting synths, gyrating digi-beats, and clever rhythmic lyrics. Their EP Silverdome presents a culture-conscious clash of minimal dance music, hushed electronic musings, and repetitive & catchy melodies. But wander no further, your wondering will be addressed: Kent Odessa is playing our Holiday Party this Sunday.
