Ottla is a bird that not only sings beautifully, but also flaps and squawks powerfully. Also known as a band Bert Dockx formed to play together as a one-off in honour of the 25th anniversary of the Jazz Lab concert series. Now Ottla is back with its follow-up, called Vogel (release date 12 April 2024). The window flies open, the sun burns. Fluttering and wailing in jazz-improv-electro-noise-prog-afro-blues-groove-punk-krautrock, Ottla, true to its Kafkaesque nature, transforms again and the quartet begins to develop the compositions further with an even richer language.

SUWI has an appealing, sensitive energy. They keep it simple with nimble melodies and casual grooves and overwhelm you with fire and silence. Think Jimi Hendrix and Connan Mockasin. They trigger your visual imagination from their universe of blue and pink.
