Multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Christopher Henry reflects: “Although the riff’s been in my back pocket for about a decade, the lyrics delve into our present situation with tech/social media and how attention itself has become a kind of commodity. We all have to get our screen time under control before it’s too late. Gotta stop falling asleep with a rectangular backlight burned on my eyelids. On a lighter note, ‘Odd Zoom’ features two incredible guest musicians! Failure is one of my all time favorite bands and I can’t believe I got Kellii Scott drumming on this. Plus there’s the immensely talented Gavin Cushman of Lavisher handling the bass, lead guitar, and backing vocals!”
Scott offers: “‘Odd Zoom’ is the perfect amount of imagination, forward momentum, and a clear and concise arrangement. It is unmistakably a fantastic song that will compel you to listen over and over because that is what fantastic songs do.”
“I was thrilled when Chris asked me if I’d be into collaborating on a track with him,” adds Cushman. “We’ve known each other for about ten years through various bands and have stayed long distance friends. Bass was the first instrument I learned and is still the most fun part of writing/tracking songs for me. When he said Kelli Scott from Failure would be providing drums I was even more stoked as I’m a longtime fan. It was a blast playing lead guitar and singing harmonies as well. Chris wrote us a seriously fun banger to play around with—enjoy!”
