This coming Friday, February 16th, Atlanta trio Omni will release their latest and greatest album, Souvenir for Sub Pop. To kick off release week, the band has shared an official new video for their single ‘Compliment,’ which was directed by Zach Pyles & AJ Holder.
The band shares about the song/video: “The last song on Souvenir explores uncharted territory for the band, which features some of the most bodacious guitar work and twists in an Omni song. It describes sparring with post-modernism in a post-postmodern world.”
Souvenir finds Guitarist Frankie Broyles, singer/bassist Philip Frobos, and drummer Chris Yonker converting their creative fuel into sharp, driving songs that land immediately, sporting chopping riffs, staccato beats, and wiry melodies. Each track is a compact unit that stands on its own, reflecting the time and place in which it was created.
Omni has added additional North American dates for June and July to their previously announced headline shows supporting Souvenir. Their North American East Coast run is from February 28th - March 15th, UK and Ireland dates from April 10th - April 20th, with the newly announced West Coast, South West & Mountain dates running from June 14th - July 01. The band is also confirmed to perform at this year's SXSW music festival in Austin, TX (March 11-16) and at Dog Days Festival in Savannah, GA, on June 08th. See below for a full list of shows.

What people are saying about Omni:
“An exhilarating fairground ride you won’t want to disembark.” - MOJO
"An irresistible fourth (album)… it's a charmer with fearsome chops all the way.” - Uncut
“Lauded by many as a band that completely transformed rock music, their latest contribution is a celebration of their skill as musicians. If there’s one thing that Omni excel at, it’s making technically complex, fast-paced precision slick, exciting, and look easy.” - Loud & Quiet
“‘Exacto’ boasts a stiff-necked riff and a jolting rhythm section, one that builds an unrelenting drive at the core of the track." - So Young Magazine
“‘Exacto’ features their precision, angular sound, but everything feels punched-up, from the drums to the big hooks" - Brooklyn Vegan
"There's a pleasant kind of straightforward attitude toward ‘Exacto,’ one that welcomes an easy indie rock sound outside of the discordant guitar lines." - Far Out
"Souvenir finds Guitarist Frankie Broyles, singer/bassist Philip Frobos, and drummer Chris Yonker converting their creative fuel into sharp, driving songs that land immediately, sporting chopping riffs, staccato beats, and wiry melodies." - Kool Rock Radio
