Otzeki share new track ‘Familiar Feeling’

With their second album ‘Now Is A Long Time’ set to arrive on 19th March via Akira Records, Otzeki are sharing their latest single ‘Familiar Feeling’.

Speaking on the song, singer Mark Sharp says, “After seeing a modular synth band Atom in Rennes, I felt compelled to write something direct and mechanised that both Joel and I could play live on keyboards. I’d also been listening a lot to New Order as well a song called ‘Breast Stroke’ by Camberwell band Flaming Tunes.

“Whilst producing the track on the train, I accidentally left the mic on my laptop on and heard this kid and his mum laughing with each other through my headphones.. it felt like a part of the track already so when I noticed, I pressed record and let it provide an ambience throughout.

“The vocal was taken from a completely different alt-rock track that we’d made years ago for our first album but never got released. That song was about seeing and holding a loved one after being away from each other for what felt like a lifetime.”
