Otzeki release new cut "Familiar Feeling"
Otzeki have released their new single "Familiar Feeling" as the second taster of their Now is a Long Time album.
The duo announced Now is a Long Time with the lead single "Max Wells-Demon" last month, and have today (6 January) released the visuals for their second single "Familiar Feeling".
Singer Mike Sharp says of the track, "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."
He adds, "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."
Now is a Long Time will follow the duo's 2018 debut album Binary Childhood.
