Odd Hope by Odd Hope
The world is an ugly place, & we are no exception, still all the more reason to facilitate beauty, & we at Fruits & Flowers are doing just that with a killer new pop record by genius semi-unknowns ODD HOPE.
Yes ODD HOPE’s debut LP is finally here bringing an immersive set of anglophile jangle & Midwest gloom. Primarily the work of Oakland’s Tim TInderholt, here aided & abetted by the post punk-ish Edmund Xavier of Horrid Red/Der TPK, this record will feed a Twin Tone/Glass Records mid-80s fix. There’s something incredibly catchy & vaguely ominous about Tim’s songs that is totally now, & crucial. Come on down if you want to.
