Omni have announced details of a 7" featuring two new songs.
The release will combine Sunset Preacher and Confessional, and the former is available for streaming now ahead of its arrival on April 20 through Chunklet Industries. Speaking about the inspiration behind the track, Phillip Frobos said:
"We were inspired by ELO’s rhythm section, particularly Don’t Bring Me Down, and wanted a song with a drum break along those lines. Frankie [Broyles] and I smashed the bottles a block away from our house and recorded them for the chorus.
"The first time we played it was in this random bar somewhere in Maryland called Always, Ricks!, on the way to NYC. We stopped in for dinner and there was an open mic night going on, mainly old guys and ladies playing rock ‘n’ roll and country. The host heckled me saying, "Looks like Eddie Cochran and his gang just rolled in, why don’t y'all play us a song???" He kept on acknowledging us so we thought, why the hell not! This guy in a seersucker suit told Frankie we sound like a mix of Van Morrison and Nirvana. They all loved it, and talked to us for a while afterwards before we hit the road again."
The Atlanta post-punk trio released their second album, 'Multi-task', last September via Trouble in Mind. They play Green Man festival in Brecon following a run of headlining shows in June.
