Detroit's Kent Odessa has taken on a new direction for his recently-released EP Physical Genius - he vies for glam-fisted funk odes, R&B slickness and electro-pop zephyrs. The result is a strange Caribou x Wizzard brew. Speaking of wizards...
The video sees Odessa live out Fantasia-esque fantasies as a magician's apprentice turning inanimate objects into living creatures and causing all manner of mischief. It's a fun little clip that marries his funk&B energy with flippancy.
You can stream the EP in full now from Odessa's Soundcloud page.
Watch below.
The vinyl edition of the Physical Genius EP is released 17 November via Airdrop. It's out now digitally.
