Odd Morris
Musicians — Dublin
03Interview
Name, where are you from?
Odd Morris, Dublin, Ireland. Daragh, Kris, Ciarán and Sam.
Describe your style in three words?
Keep the receipt.
What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
D: In 2017 I was visiting a friend in Berlin and we saw Twin Peaks play Urban Spree, my favourite band at the time. They had never played in Ireland so it felt like this was the only time I'd catch them. I've never sweated so much in my whole life.
If you could be on the line up with any two bands in history?
S: Mariah Carey, to witness the greatest rider in action. And early Arctic Monkeys, they seemed like nice lads, their naivety was bliss.
Which Subcultures have influenced you?
D: The resurgence of Irish Trad in the '70s for its dedication to keeping the music alive, and the Grunge era in the '90s for its sentimentality.
If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
D: It's coming up to his birthday so I'd resurrect Dylan Rieder to let him skate for an hour, I'd just watch.
Of all the venues you’ve been to, which is your favourite?
C: The Olympia Theatre in Dublin. The ornate red/gold Victorian design is incredible and it has a long history.
Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
K: Chris Isaak. Whatever credit he does get for gifting 'Wicked Game' to the world, it's not enough.
02Playlist
04Playlist Notes
The first track you played on repeat?
C: 'A Little Less Conversation' by Elvis. The Junkie XL remix. My first CD.
A song that defines the teenage you?
S: 'Heyday' by Mic Christopher.
One record you would keep forever?
S: 'Lost in a Dream' by The War on Drugs.
A song lyric that has inspired you?
D: "My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder"
From 'Lover, You Should've Come Over' by Jeff Buckley. That whole chorus, in fact, it’s powerful. One of the greatest love songs.
A song you wished you had written?
K: 'This Year's Love' by David Gray. Mesmeric.
Best song to turn up loud?
K: 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World' by Tears for Fears. The definition of widescreen, fifth-gear, panoramic bliss.
A song people wouldn’t expect you to like?
K: 'Misty' by Johnny Mathis. A sonic cappuccino.
The song to get you straight on the dance floor?
D: 'Someday' by The Strokes. I've dropped many a pint legging it inside to catch this. Pure joy.
Best song to end an all-nighter?
C: 'The Whole of the Moon' by The Waterboys.
Any new bands you are into at the moment?
S: Alex Gough - a rapping drummer from Waterford, believe the hype, his live shows are effortlessly tight and he seems to be enjoying himself. Also, His Father's Voice, April, Yenkee, and Kynsy.
