about

Pretty Odd's first full length LP comes as a testament to classic rock with 10 inspired grooves. This album traces the concepts of catastrophic change at the hands of a single person, whose emotions are matched with a deep swell of sound that echoed from the dawn of time. They projected themselves into space by means of an exploding Cathedral Radio. The signal is intercepted by an extraterrestrial ship whose crew discovers Earth.

The album also makes reference to pollution, degeneracy, artificial intelligence, separation, and apocalypse.
