Okoshiyasu!! is a compilation of their output from 2010-2015. ‘Okoshiyasu’ is Kyoto slang for ‘welcome’. Deranged angular punk-rock-pop-garage at break-neck speed. There's something about the Kansai triangle (Osaka/Kobe/Kyoto - it's Japan's Midlands) that's produced some great and very varied music and a great sense of unity though each city is radically different. Otoboke Beaver have emerged from one of those many provincial scenes, very influenced by western Riot Grrrl attitudes and the sounds of punk and angular post-rock. The band of mid 20’s talented musicians make easy work of the complex arrangements, reminiscent of inventive jazzy queercore punks ‘God Is My Co-Pilot’ or fellow Kanasai avant punks ‘Afrirampo’. The band sing in Japanese, and often in untranslatable kansai-ben (Kansai dialect).
