[News] Octopus Ride published the official video for “Money Trouble” from new album

Swedes Psychedelic/Space Rock band Octopus Ride published the official for the single “Money Trouble” taken from their new album “II” out on November 5, 2021 via Sound Effect Records. Watch the video through the YouTube player below:

Though formed in 1999, Octopus Ride did not release their debut album until 2013. Now, finally, the follow-up has arrived. Two albums in twenty-two years may indicate that these Swedes don’t like to rush things. On the other hand, their music is bristling with restless energy and unpredictability. Often, a nervous, minimal riff and a speeding drum will serve as a foundation, which allows mysterious sounds to enter and exit the audio landscape much like the images and scenes of a dream. Occasionally, an actual “song” will appear, in one case even a slow waltz, but arranged in such an unsettling, disorientating fashion that it will put listeners out at sea, clutching at the railings. Not quite Shoegaze, nor Post-Punk, nor Krautrock, Octopus Ride are once again transporting you into a world of sounds that is theirs and theirs alone.
