We are pleased to announce the release of Josh Ottum's debut record, Like The Season. We like the record and
people who influence popular opinion seem to like it too:
"tune-drenched, challenging Americana pop"
- NME (UK)
"An eccentric take on today's singer-songwriter standards, Ottum's music is often quirky but always compositionally and emotionally complex. Vocal harmonies layered with guitars, multiple drums, and a horn section create the effect of a Polaroid picture that appears to be carefully staged, capturing a moment in a way that feels so simple and haphazard, yet so undeniably perfect."
- SF Guardian
"...Like the Season is one of the more adventurous musical offerings to come out of Seattle in years."
- Seattle Weekly
“...what a Beck’s greatest Hits compilation might sound like and you’re getting really close. .now put it all into one song.”
- Maverick Magazine (UK) - Four Stars - ****
We encourage you to support local business by jogging to your nearest local record shop to purchase the album. Like The Season can also be found at all your favorite online retailers.
Finally, feel free to roam the wild fields of this website (made by friends mountbracken and campbell) and pay special attention to the blog section which is designed to make you laugh your head off.
