The Austin, Texas band throws some vocals and visuals into the mix on its latest EP.The Octopus Project made its name in recent years with stomping, Theremin-spiked instrumentals and a worldwide touring schedule. The band's five-song Golden Beds EP gleefully throws some visuals and vocals into the mix. While there's plenty of the former, there's not quite enough of the latter. The EP includes s...

The late talk-show host Tom Snyder - an incisive, idiosyncratic fellow - used to welcome viewers to his post-midnight chat-fests on NBC, and then CBS, by encouraging viewers to "fire up a color-tini and watch the pictures fly through the air." Well, I’ve got a variation on that one. I recommend that you fire up a CD or audio file of Hello, Avalanche - the third album by the American electro-pop.

Rating: 7It's a new week, monday's been bested once again, and I honestly feel good about that... it's time for something completely different.

Take a [...]

This clip, for the Octopus Project's Hello, Avalanche track "An Evening with Rthrtha", is definitely the latter. Created by Phillip Niemeyer of the Double Triple studio and San Francisco-based media a...

--- - |- The experimental indie rock group The Octopus Project will be kicking off a west-coast tour starting with the Lollapalooza festival. The Octopus Project put out one of my favorite albums of 2007, that album being "Hello, Avalanche". Which I still listen to on a regular basis because of its broad variety of musical tones and sounds. Where else can you get a chugging guitar riff alongsi...
