otta - who’s half-Finnish, half-British - produces all of her own material from her home studio, which she affectionately dubs “a cupboard under the stairs-meets-shed”. This DIY approach gives her the liberty to develop and experiment with her raw, poetic sounds, and she explores this freedom in new ways on her upcoming EP songbook.
She describes the record as “nearly free form in places", which accounts for the mix of meandering yet surprisingly gritty sounds on her new track “sick inside”.
