As far as Austin-based retro synth bands go,
Ghostland Observatory gets all the love (and a lot of backlash to go with it), to the extent that fellow townies
The Octopus Project have been quietly playing wallflower to Ghostland's raging kegger for years now. A lot of that probably has to do with O.P.'s sound oscillating wildly between eclectic genres of synth-friendly tuneage. "Whitby" is about as accessible as the band get, with the lion's share of the quartet's more esoteric energy apparently being funneled into this maniac music video.
The
Whitby EP is already out on
Peek-A-Boo.
