Jimy Chambers, of Mercury Rev fame, steps back in the spotlight with his new band Odiorne…or at least as much of a spotlight there might be when you’re releasing an album on a small indie label. I guess comparisons to the Rev are going to be the go-to, and it is somewhat reminiscent of their middle period stuff – not as noisy as the early work or as overly-dramatic as the more recent output. What started out as a side-project is now Chamber’s full-time thing, and while it’s not as good as his last band it’s worth checking out if you dig this style of music. Plus, he was involved with the amazing Rev album “Deserters’ Songs”, so he’s always got that going for him.
