We Are

[Machine Translation] The birth of a new pop rock band from the Chuo Line! mini muff records, which has produced The Mirraz, Veni Vidi Vicious, Dancing in the Country, and Czecho No Republic, is releasing its first newcomer in three years! And the first female vocal band! While also having a sense of American alternative music such as VAMPIRE WEEKEND, Los Campesinos, and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, they also have a Japanese beat that is common to J-POP such as clammbon and Hanaregumi, a less underground feel than Theory of Relativity, and easy-to-approach melodies. The music is like a party in a garage, and that is the OTOTOI GROUP. The OTOTOI GROUP is a five-member group consisting of a female guitarist and four men on instruments that suddenly appeared near the Chuo Line. Formed in 2007, the group has been steadily writing songs and performing live mainly in Shimokitazawa and Koenji. Although they have not made any major moves, they are a gem of a group that is sure to make a big leap forward this year. The girls are finally releasing their first nationally distributed album. We hope you will enjoy this album of extremely melodious pop songs!

中央線から現れたポップロックバンドの新星誕生!! The Mirraz、Veni Vidi Vicious、踊ってばかりの国、Czecho No Republicを輩出したmini muff recordsが３年振りの新人リリース! しかも、初の女性ボーカルバンド!! VAMPIRE WEEKEND、Los Campesinos!、Clap Your Hands Say Yeahなどのアメリカオルタナ感も感じつつ、クラムボン、ハナレグミ等のJ-POPにも共通する日本にビート感、相対性理論よりアングラ感を薄め、とっつきやすいメロディー、まるでガレージの中でパーティーでもしてるような音楽、それがOTOTOI GROUPである。中央線付近に突如現れた女性ギターボーカルに男性四人が楽器隊の五人組。結成は2007年、地道に曲作りをし、下北沢、高円寺を中心にライブ活動をする。大きな動きこそないが、今年確実に飛躍するであろう逸材である。そんな彼女達が、いよいよ初全国流通盤をリリース。とびきりにメロディアスなポップソングを集めたアルバムを堪能してもらいたい!!
