In the darkness of the unknown, where it’s too far to turn back but there’s still no sense of where one might arrive... that is the place where the Belfast-via-Bristol quartet Otherish find themselves after nearly five decades of playing together. Four misfits with three distinct songwriters in their ranks, Otherish can’t even describe their musical bond, but theirs is the unmistakable sound of a band stepping decisively out onto its own limb. Fans of ‘60s folk and psychedelia, ‘70s prog and classic rock, ‘80s baroque pop, ‘90s alternative, art rock, contemporary indie pop, chamber pop and even avant-garde composition will all hear themselves reflected in the band’s one-of-a-kind approach. Like an author who’s spent a lifetime borrowing books from the library and realizes that their own voice came into fruition somewhere along the line, Otherish have invented their own language, a delightful varied and eccentric musical vocabulary that can only be described in terms of itself.
