Otouto

Assembling inventive pop music inspired by pioneering experimental pop artists like Laurie Anderson, Arthur Russell, Young Marble Giants and Bjork, Otouto (pronounced otto-ootoe) are a Melbourne three-piece made up of Hazel Brown, Martha Brown and Kishore Ryan. With nods to mainstream pop icons like Beyonce and Madonna, Otouto would like to consider themselves as a variety of hip hop. They know they can’t really get away with this label, so for the meantime they are forging a name for themselves by melding mainstream pop and experimental reference points into a palatable and accessible pop music dialogue
