Ottla - Ottla (Chestnut Vinyl) (2LP)

Ottla is the new band of the sedulous singer, songwriter and guitarist Bert Dockx (Flying Horseman, Dans Dans, Strand). What started as a modest thought, an ambiguous plan to start playing jazz again, spiralled into an idiosyncratic project with its very own identity. It became Ottla, Franz Kafka's beloved sister's surname, after whom the young Dockx once christened a bicycle, and later his first band.
