Synopsis

Product Description

''(Songwriter Chris) Northey continues to prove himself a bottomless pit of clever lyrics and sharp hooks,'', ''the quartet s bouncy power-pop sound is intact as is the quirky songwriting, whether it s inpired by Northey's observations of suicidal incidents on the Lions Gate Bridge (''Jumper'') or the brain-dead antics of local youth (''Getting My Attention'')''. As a bonus the disc includes ''My Happy Place'', the effervescent closing theme to Corner Gas, a very successful sitcom in their native Canada.

CD Reviews

Sunny Pop from the Chilly North: The Odds Reunite!

T. Davis | Seattle, WA | 03/21/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This tightly-knit group, originally from Vancouver, has been creating music that's fun, clever, and tuneful for two decades, but they've never really caught on big, which is a shame. They had a few radio hits in the 90s, but with Chris Northey's departure in 1999, the Odds essentially disbanded. Now they've reformed, and this outing deserves a much wider hearing. Their newest album fits in very well with their early work and is, if anything, even more accomplished, though not overly-polished or facile. The guitar riffs are jangly yet harmonious, the drums and bass harken back to classic rock quartets, and the vocals are always clear and strong. Northey's songs mine a vein of catchy power-pop that has been visited by the likes of the Byrds, Nick Lowe, and Matthew Sweet, but the Odds' take on it is entirely their own. Don't miss it! And while you're at Amazon, take the oppotunity to explore their back catalog. (BTW, this CD is available as an import under the name "The New Odds," but the American edition has exactly the same track listing.)"
