Album Notes

Check out the dynamic beats of "Panty Ho" and the determined action plan of "Feel" (I wanna go too far /And take what I can /This life is for the living /Don't wanna just look in). Then there's the commercial-sounding track "Lonely Day," which will be featured on the upcoming THQ game release "MX Unleashed" for Sony Playstation 2 and Xbox (The game is set to release in February 2004). And suddenly a mood swing - ever so smoothly, Otis takes you into a time of reflection with their catchy hook and regrets in "I'm Sorry" and their contemplative thought provoking verses of "Nothing Sky" (Where do you go to find tomorrow? /What kind of space do you think you'd fill?). "Angel" is charged with a sucker-punched emotional longing that just firms up the belief that this band is as diverse and talented as they come. Just try sitting down to the driving beat of "Safe From You."

Otis was first introduced to the world when they released "Hold Your Breath" on the video game Splashdown in 2001. More recently, they were commissioned to write the song "Forever Still" for the forthcoming animated feature Ark. This introspective song about loss finds hope and a poignant live version of it can be found on their debut album Abundavida.

The song, "Lonely Day" is what got me interested in this group. I came to find that more songs on the album were great as well. Great band and great sound.

This is some of the best music I've ever heard! Sort of like Incubus meets Explosions In The Sky. The singer has a perfect voice, which sounds like Scott Stapp's in a way. I first heard the song: Lonely Day, on MX Unleashed. Then, believe it or not, it turned up in my Napster inbox the next day. Anyway, they obviously take time on their music and i cannoat wait to get a CD! It will be great to see their next album.
