About Me

An intensely broad spectrum of sound and mood come with the music of Stationary Odyssey. Aaron Tanner and Brett Siler toe the boundaries of modern music with a fierce devotion to the homegrown DIY ethics of their Midwestern roots. While not entirely avant-garde or wholly conventional, Stationary Odyssey carries the passion and honesty of folk music in a package composed of the heady aspects of trip-hop and the explosive bombast of indie-rock.

Press

"Broad does not describe Stationary Odyssey. Nor does eclectic. Or bizarre. Or weird. Try fantastic, passionate, and experimental." (Smother)

"Head! Foot! And the Pink Axe is a compelling listen, and frankly it's hard to disguise the daring talent behind this album." (All Music Guide)

"With plenty of build ups, climaxes, and plateaus, they have far more character than lots of the artsy electro-noise-ambient-instrumental stuff out there." (Evil Needles)

"A basket of instrumental genius." (75 or Less)
