Double Speak - Ouch Those Monkey's
Independent CDR Album

Constantly innovating and prolific in their free downloads, OTM have once
again shattered all pre-conceptions with the release of their debut album
'Double Speak'. Whilst retaining their off beat quirkiness, OTM have
nurtured a subtlety and space in their music which was perhaps understated
in previous tracks. Musically the sounds on this album are as diverse as
they are uncompromising, melding dark square sine waves with casio-esque
beatbox manipulations, bringing broken tempo's to heel before splintering
into grooves that will have your feet grinding. Their palette of sounds is
primarily electronic and doctored samples, evidenced by the many
instrumental & vocal manipulations. Time stretched, reversed and sampled
back in again, they create ideal textures for the playful poetics of OTM
mainstay and vocalist Marc Garret, who's deadpan delivery is a great
contrast to the lyrical, heartfelt themes of sexuality & humanity. However,
it's not long before he is expounding darker more gritty sentiments, some of
which could be interpreted as veiled messages for the net world. There are
many layers to this production and something new reveals itself on each
subsequent listen but always with humour and poignancy. (Roger Mills -
