Billboard

Hello.

We are octavcat. We make music using things like computers and old keyboards. We also make videos and pictures to go with our music. Sometimes we like to play our music out of big speakers in front of people and to make pictures move about on a great big screen.

New Album out in November!

03/11/08 - Octavcat - "Hard As Snails" blue vinyl LP/download.

We have a new home on the fantastic Uncharted Audio label.

"Dropping on lush blue vinyl and a slightly extended digital version, "Hard As Snails" is the culmination of several years work and is certain to bring their playful yet crunchy electronica to a wider audience."

Limited edition CDr combining our two EPs.

"Octavcat mixes up stoner crunch with Kraftwerky bouncefunk, dropping in enough chirruping synths, oddball sounds and machinedrum melodies to admirably distinguish Dropping Waves from the hordes of bleep-merchants running rampant amongst the Warp and Rephlex stables."
