The fourth studio album by Tomahawk (a supergroup formed as Mike Patton’s umpteenth side project) saw the departure of former Melvins bassist Kevin Rutmanis. But Trevor Dunn makes for a seamless replacement, as he previously worked alongside Patton in Mr. Bungle. Oddfellows opens with the title track, synonymous with Patton’s musical hijinx. It lumbers slowly with a menacing rhythm section, snaking its way around progressive changes that could only come from a lifetime of collecting obscure Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart vinyl. Yet the chorus is rife with Alice in Chains–esque post-grunge grit, in which Patton’s voice does that Layne Staley nasal inflection like the '90s never ended. Of course, that ‘90s sound may be as deliberate as it is inescapable when the band also features guitarist Duane Denison of The Jesus Lizard and drummer John Stanier from Helmet. “White Hats/Black Hats” proves there’s more to Tomahawk than bygone tones and musical chemistry. It’s a catchy song with melodies fighting and clawing their way out from being buried under sonic sludge and goopy reverb. “South Paw” blasts four dynamic minutes of avant riff-rock.
