We're huge fans of Nottingham-based five-piece Otala here at Under the Radar, so it gives us great pleasure to announce that their new single 'Commedia' is out today.
Their first release on Lil Chop Record Shop, “Commedia” is available on all good streaming formats and is the follow up to last year's excellent debut EP. Tell the Beeswhich established Otala as one of the most exciting bands to emerge from Nottingham's currently thriving musical underground.
“Commedia” opens with a deceptive calm, soft guitars and mournful sax lines lulling the listener into a false sense of security. The dark and haunting lyrics examine a discordant social landscape, while layers of mayhem are peeled back with an angular noise-rock scalpel and their atypical song structure. Spoken vocals lead into a twisted maze of screeching stabs and unsettling cacophony. “Commedia” pushes and pulls from the shadows of a uniquely unsettling terrain.
Talking about the release further, Otala shares that, “Deep into the disjointed nature of society, 'Commedia' is a track we've been developing as a band over the past year and hopefully shows a sense of growth from our first EP.”
Otala is releasing another single titled 'Guatavita' in May along with more UK dates to be announced soon.
In the meantime, catch them in the following:
March 8 – Sheffield, Yellow Arch Studio (Supporting Cowboyy)
March 14 – London, The Social
