Hot on the heels of their highly regarded debut LP, “Breaker”, Mark Ryan (Marked Men, Mind Spiders) and Micah (Why) return with 2 brand new tracks that don’t stray too far from the sonic template established on the LP. Short, sharp, pulsing noise attacks, heavy on the digital synthesizers and broken drum samples. This 7” is a one-time only pressing of 300 (200 on black, 100 on clear) Get it now!

Punk duo featuring Mark Ryan (Mind Spiders, Marked Men, Radioactivity, High Tension Wires...) and Micah Why...clearly coming out of the sounds they'd established with their debut album...skeletons of Ryan's previous projects dipped into chrome plating, high-tensile-strength fingers folding into stiff gloves...knuckles cracking in the cold...ball peening against frozen puddles of blue coolant on the cement floor...the duo delivering two songs that squeeze out of the established sound but both possessing their own brittle urgency...the sounds pressed into sheets of glass and smashed into shard...twisting the stainless-steel needle tight into the end of glass syringe...applying the cold pneumatic squeeze...morse code beeping into harsh climates...administering the tension and brief release, into the eye before yanking you back into the storm...delivering the long instrumental squeeze before launching you back into the machine rhythms...both sides made to raise the hair on the back of your neck...you can almost catch the scent of the ballasts burning...can almost see fluorescents flickering in the dark...can almost hear the thin glass cracking in the cold. I know I'm so full of myself, and I hate to say it like that, but that's what it sounds like to me. Crank it and break some panes in your neighbor's windows. -- winch (green noise)

Mark Ryan’s O-D-EX is a new take for the musician best known for Mind Spiders and The Marked Men. Harsh digital synthesizers and broken drum samples replace the analog fetishism of Mind Spiders. The immediacy of these machines are used to directly transmit into reality the noises churning in his brain. On top of this savage and brittle sound, Micah Why adds his special brand of chaos and bit rate break down. O-D-EX lists the main influences for this project as Chrome and Mantronix. Mark says “The gist is that this project is that it's very immediate. Using my old Electribe sampler and weird digital guitar synth pedal, I can usually bash out an idea and almost have it complete as I'm working on it. I don't have to bring it to the band to flesh it out. I've been obsessed by harsh digital noise and letting go of worrying about analog warmth when recording. Also collaborating with Micah has made this project different. I'll present the idea to him and he'll add different noise or vocal elements and help me chop it up differently.”
