Otouto - Sushi
The rain makes a sound like there’s someone else, in the house…
I kind of maybe have a crush on this surprising and slightly infectious pop-art band (the name of which is incidentally pronounced “oh-toe-ooh-toe”). Aussie sisters Hazel and Martha Brown take guitar and keyboard duties with Kishore Ryan on the drums, who incidentally plays just fine with one arm in a sling.
Martha apparently saw Canadian money for the first time when I bought their album at the Biltmore a couple weeks ago. I had to help her make change. My cold indie heart melted a little. <3
Currently on tour with CFTPA; Boston types are encouraged to catch them in Cambridge at TT’s on the 13th. Be sure to check out the MB Hugcase, Martha’s keyboard programmed with vocal samples — go listen to “Spot” on their MySpace page (linked) for a hit!
