Otis Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Ahead of their upcoming LP release on the Otis label later in 2024, the Barcelona/Brighton duo Phil Passera and Jimmy Day deliver a stunning addition to their already impressive discography with The Wild Butterfly EP. This release features three fresh tracks alongside a highly anticipated tenth-anniversary rework of their much-loved Golf Channel label classic, 'Paradise'. The EP showcases the duo's ability to craft elegant mid-tempo grooves, perfect for both dancefloors and laid-back listening. The tracks are rich with immersive harmonies, pulsating synth basslines, and dreamy jazz guitar melodies provided by guests J Felix and Royce Wood Jr. Add in some smoky saxophone layers, and you have a selection that oozes tactile and evocative vibes. Tailor-made for intimate, love-filled moments and reflective sessions alike, The Wild Butterfly EP is a beautifully layered, emotionally resonant journey that further cements Passera and Day's status as excellent purveyors of mood-driven music.
