An audio warning label is affixed to Seconds, the recent release from Odd Marshall, when a simple one-word caution is administered in the first track on the album. “Run” arrives on a determined beat that courses underneath a tale that demands action by fanning the flames of fear; finger-pointing one liners that spare no feelings as they paint ‘you better run motherfucker, run motherfucker run’ in big letters that speak of action. An edgy rhythm drives the questions of “Somebody New” as a gentle breeze groove carries a traveling man, drawn like a moth to flame with lustful wishes and a hefty backbeat that propels the choices of a youth growing into manhood with “Wreck Your Life (For Rock’n’Roll)”.
Eight unique stories add words and music to the song roster on Seconds, the recent release from Odd Marshall. The after-dark sagas that live in Seconds are driven by a soundtrack that mixes Rock’n’Roll, Americana, and Folk Rock. Produced and mixed by Roger Stevens and Christopher Thorn (Blind Melon), who lend guitar work to a backing band that includes Rami Jaffe (Foo Fighters) on keyboards and Mathias Schneeberger (The Afghan Whigs) on clavinet. A sense of urgency fuels the undertow groove that thrusts “Way Out” forward as Seconds slowly unravels the rhythms of “Hold Me Together” and confidently strides across “On My Way”. Heading out of the album on a high-step, Odd Marshall exits bidding a goodbye on a Southern Rock blast for “Outta Here”. (by Danny McCloskey)
