We used loads of 12-strings, banjos, resonators, and tenor guitars,” Oddie says about the band’s recent release. “On Blue Weekend, we leaned into our past quite a bit, where we layered up sounds with acoustic instruments.
(To give further cred to the group’s juxtaposition of floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee, in a 2015 PG interview Oddie cited John Fahey and Sonic Youth as two of his biggest influences.) Now sure, plenty of the band’s repertoire from their four official releases stays in the quieter, softer settings-creating maximum drama-but Joff and the gang give some animation to nearly every note played. After self-releasing an EP, they expanded and electrified their sound with the help of Theo Ellis (bass/synths) and Joel Amey (drums/synths).
