**ADDITIONAL DATES TO BE ANOUNCED**
ODYSSEY – which showcases such genre-defying singles as “
KW,” “
Memorial Day,” and the buoyant title track – has quickly earned critical applause following its arrival earlier this summer, including major feature coverage in
Billboard. “The Accidentals know all about using finesse, and fun, to make an impact,” raved
NPR Music. “They display equal interest in the focused musical forms of indie rock and pop and the expansive potential of orchestral arrangements, jam band open-endedness and impressionistic singer-songwriter expression.”
PopMatters declared the album to be “a stunning example of how hard work and innovation can still elevate an up-and-coming band,” adding, “The sheer, seamless blend of musical styles that they invoke into the new record is impressive in itself.” “Stellar,” enthused
No Depression. “A feel-good band with smart tunes and versatile musicality is a terrific treat in this age of pappy pop… It’s not everyday that you get personal stories and personal songs presented in such a frank yet touching manner.”
Named among Yahoo Music’s “Top 10 Bands to Watch in 2017,”
ODYSSEY affirms The Accidentals place among indie music’s most original and adventurous new bands. Multi-instrumentalists Sav Buist and Katie Larson – joined on stage and in the studio by drummer Michael Dause – have crafted a genre all their own, fueled by their uniquely limitless approach to musicality and songcraft. Co-produced by Buist, Larson, and Dause with engineer Jason Lehning (Mat Kearney, Guster, George Jones, Alison Krauss) at Asheville, NC’s Echo Mountain Recording, ODYSSEY sees The Accidentals joined by special guests including Kaki King, bassist Dominic John Davis (Jack White, Beck), The Decemberists’ Jenny Conlee, and the inimitable Keller Williams.
The past five years have seen The Accidentals perform over a thousand live shows, including headline dates, festival sets, and shared stages along such like-minded acts as Martin Sexton, Brandi Carlile, Andrew Bird, The Wailers, Joan Baez and others. 2015’s SXSW debut saw them hailed by Billboard for “displaying a genre-hopping range of influences and some smart songwriting skills to go with their abundant musical chops.”
