Search - Stationary Odyssey :: Head Foot & The Pink Axe

"A headphone masterpiece." - LOST AT SEA An intensely broad spectrum of sound and mood come with the music of Stationary Odyssey. While not entirely avant-garde or wholly conventional, Stationary Odyssey carries the passion and honesty of folk music in a package composed of the heady aspects of experimental-electronica and the explosive bombast of indie rock. Stationary Odyssey began in 2002 as the home recording project of Aaron Tanner; in their four-year history they have released two previous albums on Boyarm Records and The Great Vitamin Mystery. On this third effort, and Joyful Noise debut, Tanner teams up with Brett Siler to produce their most aggressive and guitar-driven album to date. Stationary Odyssey has a sound that is extremely difficult to categorize without being overtly bizarre. Godspeed-esque guitar squeals run throughout some songs, while in others the music boarders on electro-noise-pop. This is a band unafraid to cross into new musical territory, and as diverse as their sound is, it somehow always ends up being startling and strangely beautiful.
