High octane and fiercely frenetic tunes inspired by Bulgarian folk dances contrast with dark and mysterious soundscapes and melancholic and lyrical pieces. Odd Unit’s first album is a weaving of vibrant and rich musical tapestry pieces that encapsulated many of Theo’s earliest influences. Theo states that “…getting variety into the suite of music was of paramount importance, so some of the pieces draw heavily on the sound world of the avant-garde and make use of experimental soundscapes, whilst others are immediately listenable, groovy and have strong ties to folk and modal jazz music.”

It is music of fierce intensity, featuring variety and scope of musical territory that will appeal to listeners from a wide range of musical backgrounds.
