Odes (The Flowers of Hell album)


Released in late 2012, Odes is the fourth studio album from The Flowers of Hell. It is a covers record and the first release from the group to feature vocals and verse-chorus-verse song structures. It was premiered by Lou Reed, who opened the twelfth and final episode of his New York Shuffle radio show praising the group and airing three songs in a row, O Superheroin, Mr. Tambourine Man, and Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft.
The group collaborated with Czech dissident musician Ivo Pospíšil on a reworking of the Prague underground classic Muchomůrky Bílé, and with British Sea Power's Neil Wilkinson and Abi Fry on Fleetwood Mac's Over And Over.
