The Octopus Project / Black Moth Super Rainbow

Apr 24, 2009, 2:51pm Esoteric Mumblings

The Octopus Project is a personal favorite of mine. Their album Hello, Avalanche , is one of the most consistently fun and addictive albums I've ever heard. Their sound is a mixture of analog and electronic instrumentation, with an extremely solid rhythm section that faithfully drives every song. from [...]

Tonight: Ratt, Skid Row, Octopus Project, Indian Jewelry, Toadies and More

So I guess not all of us are lucky enough to go to Tom Petty. Pity. Luckily, there's lots of other cool shows tonight - in fact, this may be the best night of live music in Houston all summer. We'll start with a double-shot of Rock the Bayou bands... Ratt, "Round and Round" Skid Row, "Slave to the Grind" Octopus Project, Indian Jewelry, Flamin' Hellcats, Toadies and more after this. [...]

The Octopus Project - Tonight!

Aug 18, 2008, 6:29pm End Hits

In the above video for "Truck," from 2007's Hello, Avalanche , The Octopus Project took a trip to the airshow. There, they chow on a corn dog, gawk at the locals, and look to the sky (a lot), all which would be pretty unwatchable if it wasn't for the budget graphics added in post production. It's a cute video, one that is fitting for the spazzy instrumental panic of the Austin quartet. Plus, it sure beats the video with the gerbil in it . Or is that a hamster? I assume it's a [...]

The Octopus Project

Dec 10, 2007, 6:53am Off The Record

One of the more surprising albums and bands I've come across this year, is The Octopus Project and their album Hello, Avalanche released by Peek-a-Boo Records. They're a band of four from Austin, Texas and play rather, manic noisy electronic pop and rock in a sonic field of bliss. Entirely of instrumentals apart from the last track Queen , it kind of pin points the message of the songs without having any lyrical content, other than interpretation provided by the title of the track and its instrumentation and tempo. Co-produced by Ryan Hadlock, whose worked [...]

Closing Up Shop for the Holiday

Nov 21, 2007, 11:38am Electronic Voice Phenomenon

Here in lovely, albeit misguided, America we are upon the Thanksgiving holiday. Though it may signal greed and gluttony to many it is also a time to be thankful and I am thankful that I have this little slice of the internet that I happen to have loyal readers--Jeff and I are both grateful. To thank you all for your patronage, we will be taking the rest of the week off to celebrate our nation's excesses. You won't find me trolling malls on Black Friday gorging myself on useless consumerism but you will find me in the kitchen [...]

Video of the Week - The Octopus Project - "Truck"

Nov 19, 2007, 11:58am Electronic Voice Phenomenon

Unless I'm behind on slang I doubt truck is the new term for Air Show crashes, but if it isn't please allow The Octopus Project to make it so. The band's fly-by-night video for "Truck" is a masterful mash-up of childish drawings and spectacular crashes captured by amateur cinematographers posing as Air Show enthusiasts. I can't imagine people clamoring for aerial displays of our military superiority without the hope that at least one bail out or one crash occurs. It's that feeling that racing fans have--you may enjoy the racing and the speed but a race just isn't a race [...]

SCG and their various side projects (and personalities) are a national treasure; much more important than most monuments erected to honor ex-Presidents, fake gods, and capital venture.

Making Waves: Bad Drumlin Grass

Nov 15, 2007, 2:03pm Electronic Voice Phenomenon

Somewhere in the vast, barren wasteland between freak folkers, jam enthusiasts, jazz giants, and new wave marauders we find Bad Drumlin Grass. With more synth jams than Space Invaders, the do-it-all duo fluctuate between avant and pop with the greatest of ease; track after track, song after song. Invigorating Scent Of... , Bad Drumlin Grass' lastest release, finds the boys forsaking their ambient-teasing CDR days for a trip into improvisational sound. The result is a rich mixture of funky bass lines, trippy guitars, and electronic bursts brewing within music's mucky crucible. Jam band has morphed [...]

Castanets - In the Vines ( Asthmatic Kitty ) In The Vines finds Castanets mastermind Ray Raposa slipping further into folk's dark recesses. In the Vines is a stark, but lonely look into the underbelly of music history's most reliable muse. Folk has worn many hats but rarely has it donned the one Raposa has slapped upon its weary cranium--call it freak, psych, or drone and you'd still be hard-pressed to find an apt label for the latest Castanets menagerie. Raposa's third album under the Castanets [...]

Editorial: Microsoft Just Can't Do Shit with the Zune

Nov 13, 2007, 5:42pm Electronic Voice Phenomenon

First it was rushing out the original 30 GB models with plenty of glitches, software that wasn't compatible, and sync ups that didn't recognize Zunes being plugged in; now with the new generation of Zunes being released and the upgrades promised to those with the original Zune, those same consumers are being stuck with more glitches, bad downloads, bountiful error messages and system crashes. EVP doesn't speak as a third party to these situations--they were experienced firsthand last year when we were sent a Zune to test and review (which happened for another publication...*GASP*). The software refused [...]

Major Stars - Mirror/Messenger ( Drag City ) Major Stars may not have their fingers on indie's pulse but they couldn't give a fuck--the sextet's Drag City debut may be far from the kingdom of Sufjan, Colin, and Isaac but Mirror/Messenger hearkens back to the abrupt end of alternative rock. In the blink of an eye, the waves were transformed into bubblegum and nu-metal, leaving little room for bar bands and grungy rockers to be heard. Mirror/Messenger picks up where mid-90s stalwarts left off, combining [...]
