Odyshape, released in 1981, is the second album by The Raincoats. Stylistically, Odyshape was a radical departure from the band's first album, exploring different musical genres and featuring a diverse range of instruments, such as the shruti box, balophone, shehnai and kalimba. The album was originally released by Rough Trade, and was re-issued in 1993 by Geffen Records.
Odyshape was recorded after Palmolive, the band's original drummer, had left the group, and the Raincoats hired P.I.L.'s Richard Dudanski, This Heat's Charles Hayward, and Robert Wyatt of Soft Machine to fill in.
All tracks composed by The Raincoats; except where indicated
"Only Loved at Night" was covered by Softboiled Eggies for "Rough Trade - Counter Culture 2008" compilation.
The album cover is based on the painting Peasant Woman by Russian artist Kazimir Malevich.
