Philip Frobos, the Atlanta musician and member of post-punk band Omni, has announced his second solo album, Taste For The Unsavory, due Jan. 29, 2027, on Danger Collective. Alongside the announcement, he released “The Handoff,” featuring Gustaf vocalist Lydia Gammill; the song has the two singers exchanging verses.
Taste For The Unsavory follows Frobos’ 2021 solo debut, Vague Enough To Satisfy. The new album was made with co-producer Rodrigo Avendaño, whose credits include work with Soccer Mommy, according to Stereogum’s report. The album is scheduled to arrive early next year, with the listed release date set for Jan. 29, 2027.
“The Handoff” pairs Frobos and Gammill of Gustaf, trading vocal parts rather than singing the song as a single lead performance. Frobos described its imagined setting as a pulp-noir story rendered in a musical mix connected to Madchester and Athens, Georgia. A music video directed by Zach Pyles was also announced with the track.
The album’s other named contributors include Mastodon guitarist Bill Kelliher and Preoccupations vocalist and bassist Matthew Flegel. The artwork is by Frobos’ Omni bandmate Frankie Broyles. The release will also include a cocktail zine, with original drinks and pastel drawings of each cocktail by Emily Frobos, Philip Frobos’ wife. The 10-song tracklist begins with “Death Of A Chef” and ends with “Epilogue (Who Needs Structure?).”
A Second Solo Record From Frobos
The announcement gives listeners a new full-length project from Frobos between releases with Omni, while the single establishes one of the album’s collaborations and its vocal format. The participation of artists associated with Gustaf, Mastodon and Preoccupations also shows the range of musicians involved, although the announcement does not specify how extensively Kelliher and Flegel appear.
The release is also presented with material beyond the music: Broyles’ cover art and a cocktail zine illustrated by Emily Frobos. Those details describe the album’s accompanying package, but no further information is provided about the zine’s format or availability.

From Vague Enough to Satisfy
Vague Enough To Satisfy, released in 2021, was Frobos’ first solo album. Taste For The Unsavory is identified as its follow-up, making it his second solo full-length. Earlier this month, Frobos had returned with covers of songs by Sorry and Jane Birkin, according to Stereogum.
Frobos is also part of Omni, the Atlanta post-punk band. The new record’s announcement arrives ahead of its scheduled 2027 release; the source does not provide tour dates or say whether the album will be accompanied by live performances.
““I imagined this track as if a pulp noir tale were told in a Madchester meets Athens, GA style.””
— Philip Frobos
Album Details Still Unspecified
The announcement provides a release date, tracklist and several contributor credits, but does not detail the roles or instruments played by Kelliher and Flegel. It also does not give further production information beyond Avendaño’s co-producer credit, or describe the album’s sound as a whole.
The source does not specify whether the scheduled Jan. 29, 2027 date could change, how the cocktail zine will be distributed, or whether more songs and videos will be released before the album. No tour plans are included in the announcement.
