Julie Odell - “Goldfish"

SXSW 2022 - OEB Score: 7; Popularity Index: 2

Pairs Well With…Cassandra Jenkins, Alvvays, Beach House

Julie Odell may base her sound in gentle bedroom pop, but on 2021 EP Phlmsy, a collaboration with Grubby Little Hands, her music twists into psychedelic pop tracks patiently recorded in chillwave light. The weirder the better - as Odell adds layers of tripped-out sound, her music becomes that much broader and more interesting. Woozy and plodding like a lazy river, the patience across Phlmsy gives the airy melodies inherent weight, swaying in technicolor winds. Find the hypnotic vibes of Julie Odell at Seven Grand on Wednesday night with Park the Van, showcasing before fellow recommended psych-rock/pop acts Tino Drima and Neighbor Lady. (Kevin McStravick)
