Souvenir

Description

Omni, the Atlanta trio, releases Souvenir, their fourth album and the second for Sub Pop. With Souvenir, guitarist Frankie Broyles, singer/bassist Philip Frobos, and drummer Chris Yonker channel their creative energy into sharp, catchy songs that immediately stand out, featuring energetic riffs, staccato rhythms, and jittery melodies. Each track is a compact unit that stands on its own, reflecting the time and place in which it was created. This is the first album with Yonker as the full-time drummer, and his energetic playing adds exclamation points to every precise moment of Souvenir. Additionally, the trio worked for the first time with Atlanta-based engineer Kristofer Sampson. Sampson pushed the band to a higher degree of power, with Frobos's vocals more prominent in the pulsing mix and the rest of the music bouncing out of the speakers.
