about

One of our most challenging songs to date, with time signatures changing as often as facebook status updates, this neo-soul math rock track somehow managed to evolve into a soaring and inspiring piece.

lyrics

You make me wanna ask
If I can trust what you say
For your words seem to good
To believe I should stay
You make me wanna find
Another way out of this bind
As long as I am away from you
I have the chance to find the truth
Elysian Fields Is where I am
Elysian Fields is where I belong
All I want is for you to stay away.
But I am the one who can't stay away.
You have caused me many woes
You lied saying your a friend.
When you've stepped onto many toes.
How can you ever begin to mend.
You cannot face the truth
So u run to find another route
When you stop you cannot seem to breath.
So instead you stay a mute.
Elysian Fields Is where I am
Elysian Fields is where I belong
All I want is for you to stay away.
But I am the one who can't stay away.

about

Ootini! Singapore

Traipsing from tango, reggae, and dangdut to calypso, whilst conjuring odd-time rhythmic spells, Ootini is a spectacular gamble purveying worldbeat and neo-soul with inflections of math rock.

The band's music reflects diverse influences like Opeth, Nitin Sawhney, Rupa & The April Fishes, Pat Metheny and Sara Tavares.
