The Octopus Project Announce Tour Dates

Texas-based indietronica band The Octopus Project is proud to announce a series of gigs in support of it's 2007 album release Hello, Avalanche.

OP's music is mainly instrumental, combining digital and analog together as one.

Their music video for their single Truck has massively attracted fans from all over the world, closely reaching up to 400,000 plays on YouTube. This has triggered a group of fans and responded with nearly a dozen of fan-created videos featuring tracks by OP. At the mean time, OP unveiled that more official videos from Hello, Avalanche are set to premiere during the band's upcoming tour.



A 7-inch EP was released featuring two new songs, "Wet Gold" and "Moon Boil", through UK-based label Too Pure.

With ragged, furious distorted guitars at one end of the spectrum and the pure, luminescent tones of the Theremin at the other, the members of The Octopus Project mine a staggering variety of sounds in between (via strings, synthesizers, drums, glockenspiel, trombones, etc.), filling their songs with brilliant contrasting colors and cascading waves of sonic bliss. Although Josh Lambert, Yvonne Lambert, Ryan Figg and Toto Miranda each have their instrumental specialties, they spread ideas out on as many instruments as possible, each writing for and performing on any sound-maker they can find.
