Odonis Odonis are a Canadian industrial and electronic music group from Toronto, Ontario.[1]
History
Odonis Odonis was formed by Dean Tzenos after he left Ten Kens,[2] and also included Jarod Gibson and Denholm Whale.[3] In 2009 the trio recorded a group of tracks that would become their album Hard Boiled Soft Boiled, but then released a different set of material as their debut album Hollandaze in 2011. That album appeared on the !earshot Campus and Community National Top 50 Albums chart in January 2012.[4]
Hard Boiled Soft Boiled, was eventually released in 2014.[2] The album was marked by a dichotomy between the first half of the album, which comprised aggressive and hard-edged industrial music, and the second half, which softened into shoegaze-influenced electronic dream pop.[5] In addition to the album's Polaris nomination, the band received a Prism Prize nomination in 2015 for their video "Order in the Court", directed by Lee Stringle.[6]
In 2016 the band followed up with their third album, Post Plague.[3] The compact disc version was released by felte, the vinyl version by felte and Telephone Explosion Records and the compact cassette tape version by Geertruida.[7] [8]
In 2017 the band released their fourth album, No Pop.[9] The record received an 8.1 rating from Pitchfork[10]
Their fifth album, Spectrums, was released on October 15, 2021.[11] The album was nominated for the 2023 Juno for Electronic Album of The Year.[12]
