Omni’s Philip Frobos has announced Taste For The Unsavory, his second solo album, due Jan. 29, 2027, on Danger Collective. He has also released “The Handoff,” a track featuring Gustaf vocalist Lydia Gammill; the album includes contributions from 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’s Lydia Gammill. The 10-track record is scheduled to arrive Jan. 29, 2027, through Danger Collective, according to Stereogum’s report.
“The Handoff” features Frobos and Gammill passing verses back and forth. A video for the song, directed by Zach Pyles, accompanied the release. The track is listed second on the album, following “Death Of A Chef.”
Frobos described the song’s imagined setting as a pulp noir story filtered through “a Madchester meets Athens, GA style.” He said he pictured anonymity in Rome, Buenos Aires and Mexico City, and wondered what kind of occupation its two singers might have. That description is Frobos’ account of the track’s concept, rather than a confirmed narrative about the song’s characters.
Rodrigo Avendaño, who has worked with Soccer Mommy, co-produced the album. The credited contributors also include Mastodon guitarist Bill Kelliher and Preoccupations’ Matthew Flegel. Frobos’ Omni bandmate Frankie Broyles created the album artwork. The release is also set to include a cocktail zine featuring original drinks and pastel drawings by Frobos’ wife, Emily Frobos.
Frobos Expands His Solo Work
The announcement gives listeners a first preview of Frobos’ second solo album, following his 2021 debut, Vague Enough To Satisfy. The collaboration with Gammill places a guest vocalist at the center of the first advance track, with its alternating verses making the exchange between the singers part of the song’s form.
The album’s contributors connect the project to a range of artists outside Omni, while the cocktail zine and illustrated drinks add a printed, visual component to the release. Those details help define the album’s accompanying materials, but the report does not describe the broader sound or themes of all 10 tracks.

From 2021 Debut to New Album
Taste For The Unsavory follows Frobos’ solo debut, Vague Enough To Satisfy, released in 2021. Stereogum reported that earlier in the month Frobos had returned with covers of songs by Sorry and Jane Birkin, before announcing the new album and sharing “The Handoff.”
Frobos is also a member of Atlanta post-punk band Omni. The album’s announced collaborators include musicians from Mastodon and Preoccupations, while Avendaño is identified as its co-producer. The report does not state that the album is an Omni release; it is presented as Frobos’ solo record.
““I imagined this track as if a pulp noir tale were told in a Madchester meets Athens, GA style.””
