Stationary Odyssey to release "Sons of Boy" November 10, 2009
September 27, 2009

An 8-track mini-opus of face-melting moments alongside crystalline spasms of beauty, Sons of Boy, the new album from the near decade-old band Stationary Odyssey rides an undefined line somewhere between instrumental post-rock, punk, ambient, prog and grind.

We haven't heard from the boys in Stationary Odyssey in some time, and apart from the band's split CD-in-a-tin-can they shared with Child Bite, the Evansville based band has not released a recording since 2006's Head! Foot! And The Pink Axe. With "Sons of Boy" the Odyssey resurface with a collection of seriously intense guitar shredding (Torticline, Neon Seals) juxtaposed with more soulful and playful qualities than the band has explored in the past (Chunk Feeder Blues, Cherry Teeth).

It bears mentioning that the recording of “Sons of Boy” was beset with numerous tragi-comic episodes: computer failures, battles with utility companies, medical emergencies, stints in jail, blown fuses and tubes, an epic flood, robberies and assaults, locust invasions and other setbacks that would have seen other bands saying, “To hell with this…”

Luckily, with the help of a laundry list of contributors (including Chris Schlarb from Asthmatic Kitty and I Heart Lung, and Shawn Knight of Child Bite) Aaron Tanner and Brett Siler have conjured the spirit of Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine and Steve Reich into yet another worthwhile endeavor.

Sons of Boy will be released November 10, 2009. Until then, check out the track Rib Letters
