The Flowers of Hell chronology

Released in late 2012, Odes is the fourth studio album from The Flowers of Hell. It is a covers record and the first release from the group to feature vocals and verse-chorus-verse song structures.^[1] It was premiered by Lou Reed, who opened the twelfth and final episode of his New York Shuffle radio show praising the group and airing three songs in a row, "O Superheroin" (a marriage of Laurie Anderson's "O Superman" and Lou Reed's "Heroin"), "Mr. Tambourine Man" (re-imagined to sound like The Velvet Underground circa 1967),^[2] and "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft".^[3]

The group collaborated with Czech dissident musician Ivo Pospíšil (DG 307, The Plastic People of the Universe, Půlnoc) on a reworking of the Prague underground classic "Muchomůrky Bílé", and with British Sea Power's Neil Wilkinson and Abi Fry (a founding member of The Flowers of Hell and two times Mercury Prize nominee) on Fleetwood Mac's "Over and Over".^[4]
