The Odds is the brand new album from The Evens, featuring Ian MacKaye (Minor Threat/Fugazi) on vocals and guitar and Amy Farina on drums and vocals, They've released two albums in the past, The Evens and Get Evens, in 2005 and '06, respectively, The musical approach is much different to MacKaye's past outfits, No raging hardcore, no angular post-punk: The Evens are stripped back, minimal and write and perform intimate and engaging material, The approach is similar to his old pal Calvin Johnson and Beat Happening, although the vocal interplay between MacKaye and Farina is something really special, Ian MacKaye is one of the leading lights of American independent music from the past 30 years, Owner/operator of Dischord Records, legendary musician from Minor Threat/Embrace/ Fugazi and outspoken DIY advocate: everything he does is special, and The Evens are no exception, The LP comes with a download coupon for the full album.
