Otaku No Denki 'The
Future Played Backwards'
RELEASE DATE Sept 2003
The Viper Label is pleased to present a stunning debut album
by a new three piece group from Liverpool called Otaku No Denki
( Chris McCabe / Joey Cannon / Dean Salleyman ).
' The Future Played Backwards' is an outstanding debut from
this young group who perform their particular take on Electronica,
producing innovative, melodic, and experimental sounds, taking
the listener on a journey through their sonic
and cinematic worlds.
Nearest comparisons could be- Eno, Kraftwerk, Neu, John Barry
and Aphex Twin , Otaku No Denki are part of the resurgence of
great Liverpool music happening at the moment ( From The Zutons-
Chris McCabe is the brother of 'The Zutons' frontman Dave McCabe
- to Ladytron ) Their own unique contemporary sound stands alone.
The understated beauty of 'The Way the Future Was' and the dark
sonic whirlpool that is 'Tower' for example.
Album co- produced by Paul Hemmings from The La's + Lightning
Seeds.
