<a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/music/daniel-blumberg-minus">Rough Trade Exclusive. Limited Version on Transparent Vinyl with Download and Bonus CD.</a>

Artist and musician Daniel Blumberg releases his debut seven-track album on Mute.

Former member of Cajun Dance Party and Yuck, Blumberg assembled seven musicians for the project, each contributor getting a solo on the album’s seven tracks. Co-produced by Peter Walsh, the album slides into your speakers with ominous piano chords, rattling drums and murmurations of strings rubbing shoulders with mysterious percussion. Thematically Minus is an album about breakdowns: relationship breakdowns, mental and physical breakdowns and breakdowns in communication. Both arresting and progressive, the work is sure to establish Daniel Blumberg as one of Britain’s most unique contemporary voices.

Albums of the Month - May 2018

Otzeki is an innovative musical duo that combines electronic and indie rock elements to create a unique sound. With influences ranging from Seth XVI to Marbert Rocel, their music has captivated audiences worldwide.

Formed by cousins Mike Sharp and Joel Roberts, *Otzeki* has quickly gained recognition for their atmospheric tracks and captivating live performances. Their debut album "Binary Childhood" received critical acclaim, showcasing their ability to seamlessly blend genres and experiment with different sounds.

*Otzeki's* music is characterized by haunting vocals, intricate production, and thought-provoking lyrics. Drawing inspiration from personal experiences and societal issues, they create songs that resonate with listeners on a deep level. Tracks like "True Love" and "Sun Is Rising" showcase their talent for crafting emotive melodies that stay with you long after the song ends.

Otzeki's new album Binary Childhood. Available here on Rough Trade Exclusive Limited Edition of 250 Beige Colored LP, Standard LP and CD.

The super hotly tipped Otzeki is a project built around balance and duality: imagine a collision between Alt J (their latest album) and Ricardo Villalobos, or how about Hot Chip and Matthew Herbert). This great mixture of electronics and songs stems from the yin and yang of its members, cousins Mike Sharp (vocal, guitar) and Joel Roberts (keys, Ableton). Although the name might be just a combination of letters that didn’t exist on Google until they came up with it, Otzeki is the intersection where Mike and Joel’s interests meet in their mutual enthusiasm for the potential of electronic music.
