Oido (-ɪdəʊ)
Description
The band, which was unexpected and newly formed, was named 'Oido' - a Spanish word which, musically, means to play by ear. A description that fits each member perfectly as to the five all play for the sake of playing.

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"
Philippians 4:13

"It’d be really nice to keep tabs on this dance rock/electronica/pop rock band because they’ve got something good going on. Watching these boys in action is, shall I say, a hoot and a half."

- Cyrus Fernandez, DIG Radio/PinoyTuner

"It’s difficult to find anyone who doesn’t harbor some affection for Autotelic, especially with their brand of heart-swelling synth pop that sounds comfortably familiar and close to home. Sure, they borrow heavily from bands like Tears For Fears and Pet Shop Boys, but they make it sound every inch and smell, Pinoy—digging more into local sensibilities meant to mirror who they actually are as a person, and how proud they are it."

- Ian Urrutia, Vandals On the Wall

"In today’s OPM scene, most bands are forgetting how to express their sentiments in our homegrown language. But not Autotelic. In their Tagalog compositions, mild synths blanket a trickling guitar presence that morphs into something different in every song. “Misteryoso,” the band’s popular track, not only presents brilliant instrumentalism but also quirky sentiments that we choose to ignore but feel so deeply about. In a way, Autotelic is writing our tangible-yet-invisible memoirs through their luminous-sounding songs."

“I am not going to go all technical on you and tell you which genre Autotelic fits in best. I just know their tunes are fun to listen to and my feet completely agree hence the uncontrollable tapping. It has that dance-y pop feel but you just know that it’s neither dance nor pop pop. The band’s refreshing sound will take you on an electronic trip, with occasional instrumental bits for pit stops.”

"Looking at various charts I'm seeing major label singles... all the way... should'nt Autotelic be number 1 by now?
