La última vez que escuchamos de The Octopus Project fue en 2010 con el lanzamiento de su cuarto larga duración, Hexadecagon , por lo que definitivamente ya era tiempo de que la banda presentara algún material nuevo, lo que de hecho ocurrió esta misma semana. Y es que el grupo recién publicó su Whitby EP , un nuevo trabajo de 6 tracks que no sólo incluye el nuevo sencillo del grupo, del mismo nombre, sino un adelanto de su nueva producción, programada para el 2013.
