Bleep

Otto send out their swirling, psychedelic debut Clam Day on London imprint PLZ Make It Ruins. A scintillating hodgepodge of ramshackle bedroom pop, IDM cheekiness and an all-round optimistic approach to experimentation, Clam Day isn’t an LP easily understood. But given the skittering beat and sample-tastic leads of ‘Sprained My Ankle in Gristedes Juice Aisle’ and the Panda Bear melodies of ‘Crystal Hole’ — on which a lo-fi acoustic pop texture gives way to synth impasses and keyboard handclaps — you’ll be smiling too much to care what you might call this dense mix of overjoyed sounds.
