Album Notes & Community Reviews

Executing a daring and highly faithful full-album cover of The Zombies' legendary 1968 masterpiece, the English indie-pop group imbues the classic material with their own quirky, lo-fi charm. 'Odessey and Oracle' serves as a devoted, loving homage to the intricate baroque-pop arrangements of the original.
