Singer-songwriter Odd Marshall returns with “On My Way,” a laid-back, melodic rocker that leans into longing, distance, and the quiet ache of unfinished love. The single arrives February 5 and serves as an early glimpse into his forthcoming sophomore album, Seconds, due out March 6.
Built around warm guitars and an unhurried groove, “On My Way” draws from real experience. While living in New York, Marshall entered a relationship that was tested when he took a job aboard a ship traveling through the Panama Canal. A reroute around South America extended the journey by months, ultimately unraveling the relationship. “I’m a thousand miles away / but I can’t let go / I still want more / I’m on my way,” he sings, capturing the emotional tension between movement and attachment.
Seconds expands Marshall’s sonic palette, blending alternative, folk-rock, and Americana while leaning into a distinctly ’90s-influenced guitar sound. The album features Blind Melon guitarists Rogers Stevens and Christopher Thorn—who also produced and mixed the record—along with contributions from Foo Fighters keyboardist Rami Jaffee and Mathias Schneeberger of The Afghan Whigs.
Following his 2024 debut Sand & Glue—which reached #55 on the NACC Top 200 and earned praise from Billboard and Exclaim!—Marshall’s new material sharpens both the emotional edge and the physical drive of his songwriting. Where Sand & Glue reflected inward, Seconds feels restless, forward-moving, and unafraid to turn personal history into something universal.
“On My Way” is available to stream now, with Seconds arriving March 6. Tour dates supporting the release include select Ontario shows this winter and spring.
