Otherness - Salt Water

Otherness is a new project out of Oakland by Dylan Travis of Man/Miracle and Dave Reep of Elephant & Castle. Dylan sent me their brand new 4-song EP the other day and it’s definitely growing on me. The combination of Dave’s beats topped with Dylan’s dark crooning results in a pretty interesting listen. Each song is rather different from the next, yet the EP flows smoothly. It starts with “Suffer the Thorn,” which has sort of a Morrissey-meets-David Byrne pop song quality to it albeit darker, and ends with this soft, ethereal piece “Salt Water.” Here the full EP right here.
