OTOOTO, a Danish jazz group, blends melodies with vintage synths. Their new album, 2nd Quake, showcases a bold sonic evolution and Nordic melodies.

OTOOTO (Japanese for sound sound) is the newest branch of Danish indie jazz. Formed in 2019, by Jonas Due (trumpet) and Oilly Wallace (sax) as a melting pot of 5 rising stars, the group quickly gained attention from broadcasting stations and reviewers. The sound of OTOOTO, is defined by featherlight and lyrical melodies paired with characteristic sound of the vintage Juno 106 synth. Add to that a neosoul/R&B groove and ‘voila’.

OTOOTO’s new album, 2nd Quake, represents a tipping point in the band’s sonic development. The album was created in collaboration with the widely acclaimed sound artist Sofie Birch, who contributed to its ambient qualities and overall sonic identity.

The album is a manifestation of OTOOTO’s tireless quest for new forms of expression and stylistic breadth.
