Omni’s Philip Frobos has announced his second solo album, Taste For The Unsavory, due Jan. 29, 2027, on Danger Collective. He released “The Handoff,” a duet with Gustaf’s Lydia Gammill, alongside the announcement. The album also features Mastodon’s Bill Kelliher and Preoccupations’ Matthew Flegel.
Omni’s Philip Frobos has announced his second solo album, Taste For The Unsavory, and released “The Handoff,” a new song featuring Gustaf vocalist Lydia Gammill. The 10-track album is scheduled to arrive Jan. 29, 2027, through Danger Collective, following Frobos’ 2021 solo debut.
“The Handoff” pairs Frobos and Gammill in an exchange of verses, according to the album announcement reported by Stereogum. The track is available now, and its accompanying video was directed by Zach Pyles. The announcement describes the song as the first new original music accompanying Frobos’ album news; earlier this month, he had released covers of songs by Sorry and Jane Birkin.
Frobos said he pictured the track as a pulp-noir story set to a blend he characterized as “Madchester meets Athens, GA.” He also described imagining anonymity in Rome, Buenos Aires and Mexico City, and wondered what kind of work the two singers might do in that scenario.
The album was made with co-producer Rodrigo Avendaño, whose credits include Soccer Mommy, according to the report. Guest musicians named in the announcement include Mastodon’s Bill Kelliher and Preoccupations’ Matthew Flegel. Frobos’ Omni bandmate Frankie Broyles made the artwork. The release will also include a cocktail zine with original drink recipes and pastel cocktail drawings by Frobos’ wife, Emily Frobos.
The track list has 10 songs: “Death Of A Chef,” “The Handoff,” “Happy New Year,” “Vigor,” “Nautical Knots,” “Project Peppermill,” “Fulton County Stadium At 8:05 AM,” “Pulling Weeds,” the title track and “Epilogue (Who Needs Structure?).”
A Second Solo Record From Frobos
Taste For The Unsavory gives listeners a follow-up to Frobos’ 2021 debut, Vague Enough To Satisfy, and presents a separate release under his own name alongside his work with Atlanta post-punk band Omni. The new single also brings his songwriting into collaboration with Gammill, linking the record to another band in the current independent music scene.
The announced guest credits and accompanying cocktail zine point to a release with contributions beyond the core recording sessions. For listeners, those details offer a clearer picture of the album’s collaborators and physical-release concept, though the announcement does not describe how prominently each guest appears or what format the zine will take.

From Debut To New Album
Frobos’ first solo album, Vague Enough To Satisfy, was released in 2021. The new record is described as his sophomore solo album, meaning it is his second full-length solo release. The source report says he returned earlier this month with covers of material by Sorry and Jane Birkin; “The Handoff” is the new original song introduced with the album announcement.
Omni is the Atlanta band with which Frobos is associated. The announcement places the solo album on Danger Collective and gives Jan. 29, 2027, as its release date. It does not provide details about how the album was recorded beyond naming co-producer Avendaño and the additional musicians.
“I imagined this track as if a pulp noir tale was told in a Madchester meets Athens, GA style.”
— Philip Frobos
Release Details Still To Come
The announcement gives the album title, label, release date, track list and selected collaborators, but it does not specify the full personnel for each song, the album’s recording locations or its complete production credits. Physical editions, pricing and formats are also not detailed in the supplied report. The cocktail zine is described as part of the release, but its contents and distribution have not been specified.
The report identifies “The Handoff” as featuring Gammill and describes the two singers exchanging verses, but it does not provide a full breakdown of the vocal arrangement. No further singles or video release plans are announced in the material available.
Album Arrives In January 2027
Taste For The Unsavory is scheduled for release on Jan. 29, 2027, through Danger Collective. “The Handoff” and its Zach Pyles-directed video are available now, according to the announcement reported by Stereogum.
