Odd Hope All The Things

Odd Hope is the home recording project of Tim Tinderholt. Holed-up in his Oakland garage with worn copies of 'Alien Lanes & 'Chairs Missing,' he kills time recording on the classic, archaic Bay Area-favorite recording device the Tascam 388. Tim has experimented with various jangle/punk bands for years and now with Odd Hope he's venturing from the garage to share his sharp DIY pop with the world. Following a well-received single and LP, Odd Hope are now releasing this 7'' as part of our Slumberland Records SLR30 Singles Series. 'All Of The Things' evokes early Television Personalities punch, filtered through a Ray Davies-style croon and leavened with a distinct bit of Flying Nun flavor. It's perfect pop, accomplishing more in its brisk two minutes than a lot of songs can manage in twice the time. On the other side we find 'What's Your Part Of It?' -- a jangly rocker with cutting melodies and a measured lyricism that further marks Odd Hope as a project to keep a close eye (and ears) on.
