See The Octagon on tour in January

NYC indie rock band (and pals) The Octagon are going to play a few weeks of shows on the road to promote the sixteen songs to make up its new CD “Warm Love and Cool Dreams Forever.”

From the release:
"Instead of going into a recording studio, the Octagon retreated to their dimly lit practice space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and, under the lo-fi recording expertise of drummer/producer/engineer Will Glass, spent three days laying down thirty tunes to analog cassette tape on two Tascam 4-track recorders. The tunes are poppy, and the energy punky; the band blends their gift for penning simple, catchy melodies with a tendency towards noise and sonic/structural experimentation – the reinvention of the pop framework to make it something unmistakably their own."

(Me? I'm likin' Crosstops and Clew Haywood alot).
