The Octopus Project Braves the Sea For “Wet Gold” Video!

Austin four-piece The Octopus Project are excited to reveal their brand new video for “Wet Gold,” one of the featured videos on their brand new Golden Beds Enhanced EP (Peek-A-Boo Records), which includes five different tunes and seven brand new videos! Josh Lambert in the band talks about the making of the video: “…it was wet and cold! We filmed it in Galveston a couple of months after the hurricane hit, so it was pretty devastated. The whole city (specifically the beach) was filled with debris and completely ripped up buildings — totally creepy. There was a pretty gnarly fog that day as well, so it only added to the eeriness. Making the video was a blast! Yvonne spent a couple of days learning semaphore and was spelling out “Wet Gold” when we filmed it. I’ve never been colder in my life. Standing in the ocean all day long in the middle of January wouldn’t be first on my list of things to do in the future, but we had a ton of fun nonetheless!”

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. The band is currently on a cross-country tour of North America [dates below] in support of Golden Beds.
