Omni

Omni is an Atlanta-based post-punk band that emerged with a sound marked by its sharp, angular guitar work and fast-paced, minimalist aesthetic. The band, consisting of former Deerhunter guitarist Frankie Broyles and ex-Carnivores members Philip Frobos on vocals and bass, and Billy Mitchell on drums, gained prominence with a sound that harkens back to the post-punk and new wave eras, yet twists these influences into something fresh and contemporary. They debuted with "Deluxe" in 2016, an album rife with intricate guitar lines and economic rhythm sections that captured the attention of listeners who appreciate the tight, clean structures reminiscent of Television and Pylon.

With their subsequent releases "Multi-task" and "Networker," released in 2017 and 2019 respectively, Omni honed in on their niche: intersecting observational lyrics with a jittery, post-punk musicality. Their live performances, including "Omni on Audiotree Live," have bolstered their reputation as a band that delivers with precision and energy, translating their meticulous soundscapes from studio recordings to the stage seamlessly. Singles such as "Equestrian" and "Southbound Station" further showcase their ability to interweave melodic sensibilities with an underlying terse rhythm that has become their signature style. By the time they released "Afterlife" in 2020, Omni's synthesis of nostalgic influences and a decidedly modern viewpoint had solidified their standing in the indie music scene as torchbearers of a reinvented post-punk genre.
