Their latest single “**Would You Like Me If I Played A Guitar**” whose video premieres _via _[SPILL Magazine](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=264355a786&e=615f2b8493) is a flashback to their freestyle roots while thrusting into uncharted territory as being part of the very first complete album to be released with a headphone version rendered in **THX Spatial Audio**. ![](https://i0.wp.com/mcusercontent.com/f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984/images/8b06df85- ce6c-30bb-bd3f-d13b29c3c188.jpg?resize=364%2C443&ssl=1) **INFORMATION SOCIETY** L-R James Cassidy, Kurt Larson, Zeke “Falcotronik” Prebluda, Paul RobbPhoto by Jonathan Shelgosh. Its video merges performance video of vocalist **Kurt Larson** with computer-generated vector graphics and and neon-drenched animation. “I recorded myself singing this at about 2AM one night at work,” laughs Larson about the filming of the video which was directed by live-video performer **Zeke Prebluda**.  “Thankfully, Zeke was able to make it look like something anyway.” Adds founder/producer/keyboardist **Paul Robb**, “This song is new, but the sentiment goes all the way back to our early days in Minneapolis, when we felt ignored because we were a synthpop band and every one getting traction in town was playing grungy guitar music (or Prince). Perhaps it’s a tad bit less timely now that 90% of popular music is electronic, but still…Would you?” Shot in the Dominican Republic in November, 2019   Released digitally on August 6, 2021, _ODDfellows_ created quite a stir in the media. Music tome **PopMatters** heralded, “_ODDFellows_ is easily one of the year’s best records, with the band moving forward without missing a beat.” East Coast mag **The Aquarian **added, “ Electronic music pioneers Information Society are back… with a bang!” **American Songwriter **added, “the 10-track collection is surprisingly expansive, a satisfying excursion for long-time fans and perhaps enticing for newcomers.” Even the underground were abuzz with **Rockdafuqout **calling it “a vintage-style pop-music glitter-bomb” and **Chaos Control **praising, “Information Society continues to create sophisticated pop music that fuses new wave, freestyle, electronic-industrial and other genres.” Following the gorgeous New Romantic bop of previous single “**Room 1904**,” “Would You Like Me If I Played A Guitar” continues with the band’s ever-expanding repertoire of synthpop bangers. From the Brit-flavoured electropop of “**World Enough**” to the majestic darkwave of “**Nothing Prevails**” to the slinky pop of “**Down in Flames**,” _ODDfellows_ treats each genre as a different colored thread woven into a rich and vivid tapestry. ![](https://i0.wp.com/mcusercontent.com/f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984/_compresseds/79f2223a- 4831-1125-b535-39d0541195e3.jpg?resize=184%2C184&ssl=1) _**ODDfellows**_ **Tracklisting** 1.
