Souvenir

Description

The music of Atlanta trio Omni has always swung fast and hit hard. And ‘Souvenir’, their fourth album and second for Sub Pop, packs their biggest punch yet. Inactive during the majority of the pandemic – the longest downtime in their history – they approached this recording with lots of pent-up energy. Guitarist Frankie Broyles, singer/bassist Philip Frobos, and drummer Chris Yonker converted their creative fuel into sharp, driving songs that land immediately, sporting chopping riffs, staccato beats, and wiry melodies. Why does ‘Souvenir’ sound so sharp? Because each track is a compact unit that stands on its own, reflecting the time and place in which it was created. That’s why Omni called the album ‘Souvenir’: it’s a collection of audio objects, a stash of musical miniatures. Think of it as a family photo album, a binder of rare playing cards, a shoebox holding precious gems.
