about

'The Color of What Is' is the full length debut LP from San Diego based alt/psych rock band Odakota. The album is a conceptual and comprehensive composition, with each track woven together like a well knit blanket that combines to display a cohesive design. It tells the cryptic story of one's relationship with the epic concepts of time and space, justice & betrayal, and a deep look at the essence of what it means to be 'native' in a world so seemingly removed from its roots.

The piece was inspired in equal parts by the long form compositions of 20th century classical music, and the ancient act of banging on a drum. Contemplating age old questions of reason and purpose, and highlighting more contemporary issues of racial identity, tribal sovereignty, and the need for spiritual awakening in the face of global catastrophe via climate change and a cruel system of wealth distribution & incarceration, The Color of What Is begs the ultimate question; aren't we meant for more than this?
