Odawas' songwriter and vocalist, Mike Tapscott, releases a solo album under the More Animals of the Artic moniker! An Appendix of Whaling Terms is a natural progression of The Aether Eater, Odawas' debut released in 2005 on Jagjaguwar Records. More Animals of The Artic creates a mysterious and alluring atmosphere on An Appendix of Whaling Terms, with overlapping harmonies and dilatory, carefully arranged instrumentation. The songs on An Appendix of Whaling Terms are like waves crashing down upon themselves; elements of minimalism and scarcity give way to a wall of crescendo before falling back again.
