Tonight, Zeitgeist Gallery in Inman Square is hosting the record release party for Fischerspooner's new album Odyssey. Odyssey, the long-awaited follow-up to NYC art-pop duo Fischerspooner's groundbreaking debut, #1, was released in the U.S. yesterday. The event is from 5 pm - 10 pm. Inspired by the success of their salon in Williamsburg, Brooklyn's Fischerspooner are showing reproductions of the art and photography on display in the NY Salon in four additional cities nationwide (Chicago, Boston, LA and San Francisco) to celebrate the release of their new album Odyssey. Each event will feature art and photography pieces that inspired Odyssey, including photographs from Casey Spooner and design by Gareth Hague at Alias Design UK. The salon will also be an opportunity to hear the new album in its entirety.
For Odyssey, Fischerspooner's Warren Fischer and Casey Spooner recruited a list of contributors that includes hit songwriter Linda Perry, music and visual artist David Byrne, French producer Mirwais, pre-eminent intellectual Susan Sontag, producer Tony Hoffer, and others.
Odyssey's stand out track, "We Need A War," was written by Susan Sontag. Apparently she wrote the lyrics in 15 minutes while meeting with Fischerspooner. The boys were hesitant about saying "war" in a song, but Sontag got them to overcome their art school pretentions.
