Started in 2010 as the solo project of multi-instrumentalist/filmaker Dean Tzenos, Toronto’s Odonis Odonis have quickly become a staple of the industrial scene, thanks to a series of records that, although featuring in full display the genre’s signature, clangy noisiness, never lack in the production department, often offering also a melodic component inherited from drone rock of bands like The Jesus and Mary Chain and Depeche Mode. Their 2016 album ‘Port Plague’ represents a rather obvious change in the band’s sonic trajectory, delivering a sound that removes almost entirely the previously dominant distorted guitar component, relying instead more consistently on synths and samples. The band has a local show scheduled at The Velvet Underground on June 24th, after which they’ll embark on a three week North American and European tour.
