Otzeki preview second album with third single "Unthunk"

"Unthunk" follows last month's "Familiar Feeling" and December's lead single "Max Wells-Demon", and is teamed with a trippy video by Frankie Roberts.

Mike Sharp of Otzeki says of the single, ""Unthunk" is a sardonic ‘maditation’ on pop. In terms of musical references, I was inspired by the kitschiness of Billy Joel’s "We Didn’t Start the Fire" after overhearing it at the Stapleton Tavern in Finsbury Park, I was also watching a bunch of music videos by the band Devo, Daft Punk, Throbbing Gristle and Kendrick Lamar. The seed grew out of a quirky drum loop Joel and I made using his TR8 drum machine, which gave the song a far slower vibe before Beni Giles later introduced vocoder and synths into the mix, taking it back to the 80’s."

Now is a Long Time will follow the duo's 2018 debut album Binary Childhood.
