The Stranger That Turns You On


Omni “Skeleton Key”

Philip Frobos sings with a laid back and mildly bemused tone in pretty much every Omni song, like the world in front of him is always something he’s not quite figured out just yet. In “Skeleton Key” he’s sorting through the confusing give-and-take of app-based dating, and the gap between the appealing curation of self we can present in these situations and the actual self, which can be messy and awful once communication actually begins. There’s no conclusions or statements, just this dude poking at a topic from a few different angles in a song that’s splitting the aesthetic difference between Thin Lizzy and Pylon. It’s an interesting and surprisingly natural vibe – groovy and light, but with an undertow of nervous tension.

Buy it from Bandcamp.
