OTZEKI - Binary Childhood (Sealed) (CD)

The super hotly tipped Otzeki is a project built around balance and duality: imagine a collision between Alt J (their latest album) and Ricardo Villalobos, or how about Hot Chip and Matthew Herbert). This great mixture of electronics and songs stems from the yin and yang of its members, cousins Mike Sharp (vocal, guitar) and Joel Roberts (keys, Ableton). Although the name might be just a combination of letters that didn’t exist on Google until they came up with it, Otzeki is the intersection where Mike and Joel’s interests meet in their mutual enthusiasm for the potential of electronic music.
