In times when reality disappears behind filtered images and music is increasingly shaped by algorithms, Odd Couple present a warm and colourful album with their new album Rush-Hour of Life, which is reminiscent of a time when music was still handmade - raw, playful, flawed and therefore convincing. Listening to this album is like taking a trip, but not to escape reality, but to feel more of the depth of the moment again.

How does the supposed ‘rush hour of life’ work as a busy musician who has been slowed down by the pandemic? This album bears witness to the gaps in purpose optimisation and proves that there are anarchic thoughts and feelings in life that no Instagram slogan can help with. Odd Couple would rather ask us lots of questions. The ideas for this album have been floating around for four years, in the heads of the two musicians, through their hard drives and finally across the country, sent back and forth between Berlin and Cologne. A patchwork of fragments from which Tammo and Jascha have put together a great whole like true alchemists.

There is no glossy façade, no polished perfection - and that is intentional. Perhaps it's no coincidence that a bit of the early ‘Die Sterne’ sound shines through in Rush-Hour des Lebens. It is the unbridled love of fuzz guitars, strong hooks and well-garnished synths and naturally interlaced 90s beats that help to give the lyrics their full radiance. It's a cornucopia of unbridled production fun and lyrics that have perhaps fallen out of the ether somewhere, almost magically making sense in a way that sometimes surprised the band themselves.

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations

SHIPPING:

We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.

Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.

RETURNS:

Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.

Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.

CANCELLATIONS:

Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.

Thank you for your understanding.
