It’s been a while since The Octopus Project released a full-length album and the good news is that is about to change. Comes April 7th, the Austin based experimental pop quartet will release their sixth studio album, Memory Mirror, via their own Robot High School label. The band enlisted Danny Reisch (Shearwater, White Denim) & Dave Fridmann (Tame Impala, Flaming Lips) for production duties and Greg Calbi (David Bowie, Talking Heads) for mastering duties on the new album.

April seems far away but we can already hear their first single ‘Wrong Gong’, exuding their usual fun and colour. Listen to it now.

Hot on the heels of their recently released fifth album, Fever Forms, Austin based experimental pop quartet The Octopus Project have dropped the third single ‘Perhap’.
With Fever Forms, which was recorded by themselves and co-mixed with Erik Wofford (Maserati, Black Angels, M. Ward), the band mirrors their distinct energetic and intense live performances more than in previous albums. As the press release notes, the new album “is most representative of the Octopus Project live experience – dense and euphoric, a concentrated dose of frenetic beats and exuberant melody set in a brilliantly colored sound world”.

Earlier this month, The Octopus Project kicked off a US tour in support of the new album, with several more dates scheduled throughout September. A European tour will follow, starting on October 7th at The Garage in London. Check all their stops and more info here.

To get you enticed, here’s ‘Perhap’. Enjoy.

Fever Forms is out now via Peek-A-Boo Records.

Austin based quartet The Octopus Project announced earlier today the release of their fourth full-length album, the follow-up to 2010’s Hexadecagon. The yet-to-be-titled record is due out early 2013 via Peek-A-Boo Records.

The foursome are teasing the forthcoming album with the first new single, ‘Whitby’ and an accompanying video for it.
The Whitby EP is now available digitally and it comes with two B-sides, an additional remix and even a karaoke version of ‘Whitby’. The package also features the music video for the single, entirely created, shot and directed by the band. Here it is.
