Roadside Graves

we met these dudes at SXSW this year. Well, we knew the drummer Colin from his days with the dearly departed Alex Delivery. I was shocked and honored when they told us they wanted to cover “Boy in the Yard” from the Blue Depths, but they did and they did it. An amazing job too…

Sunny California

The Sunny California Cassette is here from Foxy Digitalis. You can buy it direct from the man or pay for it here at the Odawas web store. Here is what they say…

ltd#107: michael james tapscott “sunny california OST” c26
if i could only be serenaded by one person for the rest of my days, i’d choose michael tapscott in a heartbeat. the odawas vocalist’s talent is something to die for. that voice… cannot be beat. but what tapscott brings on his debut solo release under his own name is far more than just that voice. this is the soundtrack to the short film of the same name by neil blakemore and follows in the ocean-drift steps of the last odawas record, “the blue depths.” melodic synthesizer passages float lightly on simple, seductive drum machine beats and acoustic guitar lines. erratic, almost-harsh electronica even makes an appearance as tapscott uses all his tricks to crystalize the theme of the film. every turn finds a new path, all of which lead back to the central precipice.

“sunny california” is a place rife with beauty and sadness and as tapscott as our guide, we’re bound to find something to treasure. edition of 100.

We are quite pleased to tell you about that a shortfilm we soundtracked for Neil Blakemore will be showing at Cannes this year, somehow our invitations were lost though….

Thank you Austin for being so sunny warm up until the last day when you were 41 degrees. Thank you Twin Peaks for the Dirty Brunette Beer. Thank you Annie for the shows. Thank you Beauty Bar for the great sound (bass!). Thank you friends who came to the Beauty Bar. Thank you girl who tried to steal my hat for the photobooth. Thank you bands who we may or may not have shared the stage with us. Thank you Texas for allowing us to be from California. Thank you Kerbey Lane Cafe hostess for picking up the toothpicks. Thank you stoned Kerbey waiter dude who was so out of it yet calm and quick with the sodas. Thank you Austin.
