ODIOUS BLOT

Frazer is a songwriter, composer, and recording artist from Ontario, making music under the name Odious Blot.His songs carry a roots sensibility at their core — acoustic, grounded, and melodic — but stretch outward into psychedelic texture, jazz inflections, and bluegrass intricacy. The result is music that feels familiar and strange at the same time.His style travels across genres the way this country travels: wide, unhurried, and always shifting. Catch him live as Odious Blot or with his bandmates in Northern Creatures.

ALBUMS

A decade of song writing, recorded solo during the pandemic. Acoustic guitar, layered harmonies, and a wide aural berth — jazz, funk, bluegrass, all with a streak of psychedelia running through their midst.Hope and the title track lean into the acoustic essence of my songwriting process. Every Time and Tired of Running are rougher, sitting at the crossroads of rock and country. Love Me drifts somewhere else entirely.A cohesive effort, songs that suit each other and me. A snapshot of seclusion blossoming something whole.

Demos, experiments, and finished songs from 2020–2023 — written, played, and recorded solo (everything except drums).Sown Hearts sits with loss. All the Way Back traces a journey from childhood heroes to their lifelong influence. Last Refrain and Dreaming of Me came out of week-long writing sessions with my dad.Not everything here is polished. That's the point.

I create because I have to. There's a persistent internal push — musical, artistic, conceptual — and Odious Blot is where the musical push lands. If the music puts a smile on someone else's face or heart, that's a happy bonus.These days I write and record solo, playing most everything myself, and perform live in the GTA, York, Durham and Kawartha Lakes with my bandmates in Northern Creatures.There are new songs and a new solo album in the works. Look out for the Northern Creatures recording of our song Down To You in the nearer future.
