Grains & Oddish Summer Sprouts

Sprawling up from Pōneke:

Oddish intend to provide an evening of mystical melodies and endearing rhythms. Drawing from their love of psychedelic rock, ambient electronica, and classical minimalism, the instrumental three-piece transfix their audience, pulling them along wordless tales of whimsey.

Expanding from an ambient-dance synth-duo, Grains emerged as an explosive 5-piece ensemble of electro-acoustic energies. Technicolour spaces of synth-pad sequences (Peregrin Hyde), dreamy guitar licks (Jed Prickett) and ethereal throat singing (Fredd Marshall) give way to rising cosmic crescendos driven by punchy sub-bass (Calum Turner) and ecstatic, rising rhythms (Jared Reynolds).
