Stanley Odd

Stanley Odd is a Scottish alternative hip-hop group based in Scotland, United Kingdom. The act forms in 2009 and remains active, with Solareye as the listed member.

The group combines live instrumentation with samples and loops, placing it within alternative hip-hop rather than a purely programmed or traditional rap setup. Its live profile includes support slots for Arrested Development, Sage Francis and Goldie Looking Chain.

Stanley Odd also appears at major Scottish events, including T in the Park and Edinburgh’s Hogmanay Street Party.

Style and approach

The group describes its music as aiming at listeners who feel awkward in social settings, prefer literary culture and counter-culture, or identify with science fiction, comic books and other outsider interests. This framing sits alongside the band’s use of sampled and looped material with live performance.
