Brother Octopus
\nSea of Champions<\/em>
\n(Oak Apple Records)
\n3.5\/5
\nWhen I first laid eyes on Sea of Champions<\/em> by Brother Octopus, I immediately imagined it would be one of the oddest things I\u2019d ever listen to. I was anything but disappointed.
\nThe band is classified as indie rock over at iTunes, which I wouldn\u2019t argue against, but I\u2019d add that it sounds more like folketronic or disco-pop-rock.
\nThe story behind this album is that although it was fully produced in Alberta, each track was recorded and mixed in a different studio. And what I really like about Sea of Champions<\/em> is that it sounds like they had fun making it, and that makes it difficult not to enjoy yourself by proxy.
\nIt seems to me that I\u2019m always hearing about all this great Canadian-based music, and I would not be shocked to learn that Brother Octopus is the kind of thing people are talking about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
