-[:]- The Octopus Project - New EP, New LP + Bee Gees Cover -[:]-
One of my favorite bands of the last couple years is The Octopus Project. I really love unique sounding music and these guys and girls deliver what I need. I was obsessed with their last record and got excited when I heard all the news on their website. Here is a copy and paste job from their site. New record coming this year!!!!!
" Hello folks!
Our first foray as a band began back in 1999 with a Christmas release of sorts, and we thought we'd continue that tradition with a special little release for all of you. As a Christmas gift to you fine folks, we would like to give you our cover of the Bee Gees song, "I.O.I.O." This version features Josh, Yvonne, and Toto (respectively) all taking vocal duties. We recorded it in our practice space and even snuck into a giant stairwell at the University of Texas to get some insane reverb. Needless-to-say it was a blast to make, and we hope you all enjoy it!
Much more importantly, have a fantastic holiday season!
Here ya go:
