The Sound Affect

In a world of downloadable singles, our hope with this podcast is to look a little deeper at what influences musicians and see the impact an album (as opposed to a single) can have on an artist’s work. The Sound Affect is about discovering (or re-discovering) a record that has influenced a musician. You tell us the record. We will do the legwork to investigate the record and tell the listener some of the basic information. Then we invite an artist in to chat with us about that record. This is the

Odonis Odonis is the Toronto-based duo of Dean Tzenos and Denholm Whale. Together they create varied music that verges on everything from EBM and Industrial to shoegaze aggression. Their sound has been described as “claustrophobic electronic music that sounds like the end of the world.” Their new album Spectrums (Editors note; Holy S!@t it's good) marks what they have called a “third chapter” in their career, yet, the release is still dripping in their noisy synth industrial history.
