The Octopus Project Gets Ready For the Road, Gives Away “Wet Gold”!

Austin four-piece The Octopus Project are getting ready to hit the road once again [tour dates below]. The band has kept busy this past month, touring around the south (where they debuted the first of many “Visual Music” performances), playing at Austin’s Fashion Awards last week, and rounding out an incredible 4th of July show at Stubb’s with Explosions In the Sky and The Wooden Birds. The OP will set out once again on an extended North American tour behind their forthcoming Golden Beds enhanced EP, which features five different tunes and seven brand new videos, and will be released on Peek-A-Boo Records on July 28th.

In celebration of the EP and tour, the band are giving away a free mp3 download for their song “Wet Gold”!

The Octopus Project has amassed a continuously growing fanbase over the past few years. Known for their incredible live shows involving a diverse group of instruments (theremin among them), they have a unique and rare ability to translate well on record too. Their last full-length, Hello, Avalanche, was well-received by Rolling Stone, Spin, Wired, Magnet, The Village Voice, Pitchfork and Stereogum, among many others.
