When we posted the Octopus Project’s “Wet Gold,” there was a discussion of the Golden Beds EP’s lead track itself (an upbeat, layered Versus-esque momentum created with voices, bells, instrumental accents, and handclaps), but also a mention of the Austin quartet’s live appearances, which sometimes arrive with multi-media “Visual Music.” Now we not only have updated tour dates, but also a Zellner Brothers-directed video that takes the band down to the ocean and gives an insight to what they look like when they’re performing their roles and battling the waves on their singing boat. Yvonne Lambert stays on land, directing the guys to shore with green monsters, pink seagulls, and psychedelic hermit crabs.

  1. Love it! exactly what i would expect from them. especially love the colored shells, singing raft and water effects.

  2. Cute! It wouldn’t be completely out of place on an episode of “Yo Gabba Gabba”, i.e., the hipster’s children show.
