Editorial review
From the sound of this album one would suspect Otto's Daughter to be the offspring of Marilyn Manson and Shirley Manson, with Trent Reznor as the obstetrician. Moans, groans, shrieks, sighs, yawns, clanks, and spooky horror movie synth effects season the tracks, creating gloomy and occasionally compelling goth rock. There are some sonic experiments like "Cuts" (which sounds like someone is indeed being cut up) and "Venus Asleep," which suggests the audial experience of trying to wake up. On the vocal tracks, voices are often overdubbed and electronically altered to sound rather like ET. Of note are the scatologically silly "Showgirls"; "Todestanz" (Death Dance), sung in German; the surprisingly tuneful "Hail"; and a cover of Depeche Mode's "Stripped" which is competent but lacks David Gahan's charismatic vocal style. Renew is a good party record for goth fans. Other listeners may find some amusement, but will also find some tracks to be snoozers. ~ Lynne Bronstein, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Otto's Daughter
"Female fronted Aggressive, Energetic and Melodic Rock with in your face vocals. It's a bit of Punk, Pop, Rock and Industrial/Goth without one overpowering the other". -Peppermint Mag.UK-
Otto's Daughters style and sound came about when European transplant Singer/Songwriter Jacqueline van Bierk and Californian native HH Gadget (Drummer/Songwriter) started collaborating.
Otto's Daughter came alive as a full band in October 1998.
The debut "Void of Course", released in October 1999, was added to over 250 College Radio Stations nationwide and has gotten write-ups in local, national and International Music Magazines and E-zines. The band has been featured on many music sites, including MP3.com "woman in rock" and Cdstreet.com.
The second album "Renew", mixed by Neil Kernon, who's worked with bands like Queen, Queensryche, Rorschach Test and many others, was released in May 2002 and has received positive reviews nationwide.
