“We made the video for this song because we are very sure we are not alone in the universe”, says bassist Weed. “wouldn’t it be grand If aliens came to earth with party favors instead of human-eliminating laser weapons. It’s always a great time working with E.T. on the videos because he has a unique understanding of the vision since he is in the band and helps write the songs. In true spirit of the song, we filmed after a cross-country flight and about 20 beers and liquor throughout the day… I’m happy the video turned out to be so cool, because I barley remember filming it!”
Outer Space Outtakes, the sensational new album by the post grunge alternative metal band, The OddEven, is a groove-centered guitar party that brings us deep into the fold of the unknown, raucous and rebellious, getting twisted and high, as if the sky was suddenly filled with dark spirits from other worlds dancing in the afterimage of our own flashing shadows. Lyrically, The OddEven delves into fantastic alien encounters as much as the paradoxical truths about complex relationships. Altogether, the album covers a broad spectrum of imagination and emotion, all thematically tied to the idea that we must set ourselves free of the chains of toxicity. Outer Space Outtakes is a journey that forges its own fantastical path along the road of reality that twists and turns beneath a scatter of stars. The first focus track, “Come Home,” is about hope and recollection, as the second single, “First Encounter,” is a glorious guitar-fest made for space junkies, metal heads, rockers, and goths. The third exceptional focus track is titled “Innocent,” and it mesmerizes us like sirens of the sea and witches in the wind. Altogether, Weed (bass) and E.T. (guitar) write songs that were made to make you get your groove on, featuring first, that bass sound that pounds like a thundering heartbeat pinning the meter. Jim Chaney (drums) plays in a way that is somehow both “heart-stopping metal” and “addictive funk-a-licious,” and Grant Walker (vocals) hits us with hypnotic harmonies that cast spells, end wars, spread love, and charm snakes. And E.T. plays that heavy rhythm guitar like a monster truck in a monastery and those wailing lead tracks that make us feel like we have rocket-jets under our heels and starlight blasting out of our eyes. The album was produced by Weed and E.T., alongside Frank Marchand (Fiona Apple, Nils Lofgren) at Waterford Digital, and mastered by Alan Douches (Mastodon, Monster Magnet, Fleetwood Mac) at West West Side Music. Outer Space Outtakes was released on March 14, 2025 by Eclipse Records.
