OTTTO RELEASE PAUL MARCHAND (“JACO”, “SELENA GOMEZ: MY MIND & ME”) DIRECTED VIDEO FOR “SKYSCRAPER”
CO-HEADLINING TOUR WITH BASTARDANE BEGINS SATURDAY; DATES INCLUDE METALLICA WEEKEND 2023 TAKEOVER PERFORMANCES
OTTTO, who kick off their co-headlining North American tour with Bastardane on Saturday, have released a Paul Marchand-directed video for “Skyscraper” (https://youtu.be/jIg3VzisIdQ) from the Venice Beach-based band’s recently released album, Life Is A Game.
Marchand, who is well known for his music documentaries, including “Jaco” and “Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me,” directed the video that, in a nod to the album title, sees the trio playing a board game dubbed “Skyscraper” with each roll of the dice bringing chaos reigning down.
“OTTTO rocks,” says Marchand. “But man, to be honest we all had a lot of milk to drink that day. I just remember the swell was down and the surf zombies came inland. Someone brought a board game? This kinda stuff just happens in Topanga. I think it was a Tuesday.”
OTTTO have received widespread praise for their recently released debut studio album, Life Is A Game (listen here) with Consequence describing the 10-song album as “fun, unpretentious thrash,” and Metal Injection saying: “OTTTO are destined for stardom… this trio has massive talent that is undeniable…” The band previously released a pair of videos from the new album, including the elaborate, carnival-themed video for “Dance of the Dead” (https://youtu.be/JinvmhzID4o), and the Dogtown-infused clip for “My Pain” (https://youtu.be/vTlRumyfaM8).
