What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Ant feeling happy.

The Octopus Project have an enchanting little happy indie guitar pop single out as part of Too Pure's singles club. I'm kind of reminded of Stereolab although this is definitely out on its own. There's an ample smattering of electronics too. On second listen I actually think 'Wet Gold' is a pleasant feel good tune. Perfect for the hot weather we're currently experiencing. I must play this to Brain. I think he might dig it.

What the label says:

Originating from Austin, Texas, electronic indie quartet The Octopus Project fuse together feel good summer pop and sublime experimentation with ease. Their first release outside of America sees the band combine their digital hallelujahs of previous albums (c/o US label Peek-A-Boo) with full on rock-out guitar action (‘Moon Boil’) and dare we say it, effortlessly ethereal vocals (‘Wet Gold’).

 “…Smart pop scientists and total party animals, like Stereolab with happy feet” – Rolling Stone

 “…Cyberspace’s ultimate guilt-free party band” – Pitchfork

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
