The Octopus Project: "I Saw The Bright Shinies"


Whaddya think of the new Octopus Project song? A gloriously swirling instrumental piece from everyone’s favorite Austin-based weirdos (I mean that with much respect and in the best way possible of course). It’s from their upcoming Peek-a-Boo Records release, which as of this exact moment in time is untitled. The obviously glorious Gorilla vs. Bear says the album is due out Oct. 9th, and I believe them. ROO!
