Synopsis

Album Description
"Indiana is a state that's brimming with intelligent indie rock. Odawas, named after the Odawas Indians native to Beaver Island, are one of those bands. Intriguing stories abound...adopting Dante's and restructuring their own, Odawas offer some real rich tunes laden with cerebral fossils of music's past. Lo-fi enthusiasts will be smiling from ear to ear and rushing out to share this journey with their friends, while others who may be scratching their heads...but in the end, we'll all turn ourselves over to Odawas and allow them to play with our minds and soul." - SMOTHER "This Indiana-based outfit serves up an appealingly strange blend of eccentricity and accessibility. Odawas definitely are not playing with a full deck, but deal from it, top and bottom, with undeniable skill." - DUSTED "Odawas sound much like fellow low-fi prog-poppers Mt. Eerie. But where Mt. Eerie often sound like a reverberating old growth forest, Odawas appear much grander and remote, as though they are being beamed in as a far away signal." - BRAINWASHED Odawas' songwriter and vocalist, Mike Tapscott, releases a solo album under the More Animals of the Artic moniker! An Appendix of Whaling Terms is a natural progression of The Aether Eater, Odawas' debut released in 2005 on Jagjaguwar Records. More Animals of The Artic creates a mysterious and alluring atmosphere on An Appendix of Whaling Terms, with overlapping harmonies and dilatory, carefully arranged instrumentation. The songs on An Appendix of Whaling Terms are like waves crashing down upon themselves; elements of minimalism and scarcity give way to a wall of crescendo before falling back again.
