Odakota – The Color Of What Is LP

Odakota is quite an interesting group emanating from San Diego, California. The group initially started as a project entirely operated by Austin Wasielewski but soon became a full-time band with additional musicians such as Sanjay John and Nolan Krueger. Since then, Odakota has worked hard on the material for their debut recording. Their hard work resulted in The Color Of What Is, a debut full-length album that bursts with a calmy, soothing, shoegaze atmosphere, but it also showcases how these experienced musicians used common sense while shaping the forms for their debut. Then Odakota decided to publish their harmonious record online through streaming services.

The Color Of What Is unveils how a comprehensive collection of various musical genres that affected the songwriting, composing, and arranging of the entire group. Odakota reveals their admiration towards detailed indie rock sound, but like it’s always the case, there’s more than meets the eye. Besides predominant indie rock aesthetics, you may stumble upon vividly hearable elements of shoegaze, indie pop, power pop, dream pop, space rock, psychedelic rock, and alternative pop-rock. Odakota decided to stack up all these genres above the technically demanding musicianship provided by each member. These experimentations with the sound resulted in a dreamy, spacey, shoegaze, psychedelic ambient infused indie rock album.

Their bright ideas, exceptional songwriting, and entertaining arrangements are carrying the portion of the atmosphere, but there’s are also specific retrospective articulations included along the way. The band leans towards the late sixties to mid-seventies psychedelic/space rock sound, which was recreated on many occasions by various bands. Nevertheless, those attempts never sounded good like on this particular album because Odakota succeeded in their aim to grasp the essence of that era. You’ll solely embrace their complex, rich, vibrant, dreamy sound, performed with so much sense for balance between calm moments and colossal harmonizations.

No matter if we talk about the impressive rhythmic sequences, warm sounding low-end tones, reverb-driven harmonizations, or high-pitched vocals, Odakota is winning in every possible situation with their exceptional musicianship, beautiful themes, entertaining dynamics, and intelligent arrangements. The Color Of What Is is a comprehensive collection of polyphonous compositions that will suit every mood and occasion. The Color Of What Is is available at streaming services such as Spotify, Soundcloud, Bandcamp, and Youtube. Don’t miss your chance to check it out if you’re into the profoundly detailed indie rock with loads of spacey psychedelic rock included along the way.
