About
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 now!
10/11/08 - Octavcat - "Hard As Snails" Blue Vinyl LP and Digital download.
itunes
Juno
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."
This is available from the Uncharted Audio site and all good record shops.
Tinkly and crunchy with more melody than you could shake a stick at. Lush electronic music!

The sounds of Octavcat are about as twee and inoffensive as they come, with gurgling melodies and that ear slivering sheen of well processed electronica making for the perfect listening experience FOR fans of Isan, Gimmik or Kettel.

Jumping from twinkly electronica to mellotron glitch hop it's sometimes a real attention testing work, in that there are a lot of chops that you'll miss the first time round that you need to uncover again. Dissected electro your car stereo should definitely bubble to.

"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."
