The video for "Oddfellows" complements Tomahawk’s sound
perfectly, directed by Vincent Forcier, we
get some fun-house styled animation in the form of demented cartoon sketches of
ghouls and demons superimposed on top of distorted black and white performance
footage of the band.
We have already shared the stream and video for “Stone
Letter” from super group Tomahawk,
the musical project consisting of Duane
Dennison, Trevor Dunn, Mike Patton and JohnStanier and today we got a stream of the title track from their
forthcoming LP, Oddfellows. Likening this song even more than “Stone Letter",
some great riffs from Duane has got me excited for more.
Almost two months ago we heard our first new material from super group Tomahawk, the musical project
consisting of Duane
Dennison (The Jesus Lizard,Unsemble), Trevor Dunn (Fantomas, Melvins Lite), Mike
Patton (Faith
No More, Mondo Cane) and John Stanier (Battles, Helmet).
The song was “Stone letter”, the lead single from the bands forth LP, due out
shortly and entitled Oddfellows, and we now have a set of visuals to go along with
it that is composed of live footage from various performances.
It’s been about six years since we have heard any new
material from super group Tomahawk, the musical project consisting of Duane Dennison (The Jesus Lizard, Unsemble), Trevor Dunn (Fantomas, MelvinsLite),
Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mondo Cane) and John Stanier (Battles, Helmet). The
band recently announced the release of a fourth LP, titled Oddfellows. Now, we
have a first taste of what the record will sound like, via brand new track “Stone Letter” as well as a short album preview below via youtube. The new album was described as a “full-on rock album”
by Duane Dennison, who told Rolling Stone: “There’s no quirky weirdness – it’s
very straightforward for us. There’s almost like this weird, upbeat
sound, what I call ‘heavy pop,” and Patton totally got the vibe right away…
really heavy Beach Boys.”
