The Octopus Project - One Ten Hundred Thousand Million

Sorry about the lack of updates of late. Everyone's been too busy with opening gifts, having awkward family dinners and being really merry to actually do anything that vaguely resembles work, so none of the posters have bothered with this page much. But I would like to take this opportunity to give a big wussy thank you to all of our regular readers over these past four months. It really means a lot to me, cheers.

Anyhoo, I told you I'd be posting this as soon as I'd received it and given it a good listen to make sure it wasn't a big old disappointment. Well as you can guess, it wasn't. The Octopus Project have managed to take a fairly youthful and interesting route with the post-rock layout. Instead of the nihilistic, soul crush of Godspeed! You Back Emperor or the sweeping epic qualities of Explosions In The Sky, The Octopus Project's take is one of danceable yet completely indispensable fun. A band that you can prance around like a looney to but still manages to come off as well thought out and cleverly composed. If they played stuff like this at the local disco, I might actually bother going, and none of the pilled up dickheads that populate my town would complain because they can still "get their freak awn" to it. Everyone would be a winner.
