With a beat that straddles the line between motorik rhythms and hip hop beats and a feral, swaggering attitude, along with a sprinkling of Can&#8217;s embrace of eccentricities into the mix, <em>Gone Solid<\/em> is their closest approximation to an anthemic classic that will be remembered long after its time. Take a listen to the track via Soundcloud below.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F307043012&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&visual=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&color=999898\"><\/iframe>\n<p>Since arriving in Berlin six years ago to a revolving circus of hepcats, drugs, and trendy hangouts, Odd Couple duo Tammo Dehn and Jascha Kreft, (two kindergarten pals from Ostfriesland), still feel out of place. Perhaps it&#8217;s typified in their name &#8211; an assertion of strange outsiderness, but together the duo weave a kind of art that dredges up the nuggets of rock&#8217;s dinosaur past and infuses it with a thoroughgoing modern approach to recording sound. When the duo started working on their debut &#8216;It&#8217;s A Pressure To Meet You,&#8217; released two years ago, their style was still very much in its embryonic stages. Now for second album Fl\u00fcgge (meaning &#8220;independent&#8221; or &#8220;to spread one&#8217;s wings&#8221; in German), the band feel like they&#8217;re taking another shot at the start. Shearing their sultry garage-rock archaisms in favour of a grander, looser, style that takes influence from hip hop and the kosmische musik experimentation of West Germany in the seventies, &#8216;Fl\u00fcgge&#8217; is a different beast entirely, and one which Germany, and the wider world, hasn&#8217;t heard the likes of yet. A mouthpiece for millennial disaffection, Odd Couple&#8217;s new album brims with introspection and self-discovery. It&#8217;s a clever dissection of the things making our generation unhappy, and a nod towards the possible solutions in store. Mostly though, it&#8217;s a profoundly hard-hitting and deftly-delivered sonic assault that paves the way for a new rock renaissance. Odd Couple are everyman and everywoman, living in these dangerous times with the fear of uncertainty, but hell bent on spreading their wings and soaring high.<\/p>\n<h5 dir=\"ltr\">Track listing<\/h5>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">1: Haste Strom Haste Licht<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">2: Gone Solid<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">3: Ged\u00e4chtnismann<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">4: Go Sees<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">5: Tres Mello<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">6: Orbit Traveller<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">7: Mon Coeur<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">8: Fl\u00fcgge<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">9: Serve<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">10: Gehirnkasten<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">11: Am I Evil<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">12: Tubes &amp; Wires<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">13: Been Solid<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">14: OK<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For more information on Odd Couple, visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lostinthemanorpr-co-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com\/Redirect?ukey=1mdup8fXCxTRPRdUsBnc0kJRElDDgLV6_F8ABSBaFZnw-1432143112&amp;key=YAMMID-66067800&amp;link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oddcouple.de%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">oddcouple.de<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Fusing krautrock and hip hop elements, Odd Couple share\u00a0their new track Gone Solid ahead of their album &#8216;Fl\u00fcgge&#8217; set for release April 21st.
