Released in late 2012, Odes is the fourth studio album from The Flowers of Hell. It is a covers record and the first release from the group to feature vocals and verse-chorus-verse song structures. It was premiered by Lou Reed, who opened the twelfth and final episode of his New York Shuffle radio show praising the group and airing three songs in a row, O Superheroin (a marriage of Laurie Anderson's O Superman and Lou Reed's Heroin), Mr. Tambourine Man (re-imagined to sound like The Velvet Underground circa 1967), and Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft.
