About Me

Attack Octopus is a bona fide rock and roll spectacle capturing the power of a full ensemble through the trinkets of a symphonic mad scientist. The songs gain momentum as parts are played, spliced and looped together, finally erupting into climactic frenzies when the drums and vocals kick in. You can close your eyes and picture a stage teeming with musicians, or open them and see a solitary figure tranquillizing his mind, and yours, with a steady purpose.
