Dodger Point by Otis Jordan

New to Them There, a limited-edition cassette from Manchester born and Glasgow based multi-instrumentalist Otis Jordan. ‘Dodger Point’ captures Jordan’s most recent musical meditations recorded in bare-bones DIY style at home in Manchester in early 2020. It plays out as a cut and paste mixtape of fractured folk and field recordings, at times sounding like a long-lost archival recording of primitive tribal dance music. Instruments and objects - old, new, and borrowed - from the likes of fellow DIY enthusiast and cosmic wanderer Paddy Steer, are plucked, strung, hammered, and bowed into webs of rhythms and resonance. 

Jordan’s most detailed and elaborate release to date, ‘Dodger Point’ often feels like an intricate maze crafted by a master magician as he deftly weaves each one or two-minute vignette into the next. With a penchant for delightfully disorientating the listener into deceptive, audio wormholes, Jordan thrives on crafty found-sound experimentation, creating an album that feels intricate and timeless.
