“If Sufjan Stevens were to abandon the high concepts and embrace his pop sensibility, the result might not be too far from Josh Ottum’s debut.” – Uncut
“Josh Ottum, I heard in the Rough Trade record shop. I literally had to force the staff to lend me their promo copy of the record! It’s tune-drenched but challenging Americana—think Ween meets Ben Folds Five.” – NME
Like many of his colleagues, Seattle songwriter Josh Ottum is received a bit differently overseas than he is on his home turf. In short, the Europeans eat him up, while domestically he still very much remains a ‘cult’ figure.
Ottum will once again embark on a European tour this April, joining Seattle songstress Rosie Thomas for several dates. In the recent past, Ottum has received great honors from European press, particularly in the UK where Uncut Magazine and NME Magazine have lauded Ottum as a brilliant, ‘next big thing’ talent.
Ottum will perform a couple of Seattle dates before crossing the pond, including a show with Travis Morrison.
