Octonaut

Mind-controlled octotentacular psychedelic stoner rock set in deep space.

Octonaut is a five piece whimsical band based in Rome, which blends rock sub-genres - such as psychedelia, stoner and space rock - oscillating between ethereal and Mephistophelean sounds. The resulting composition evokes a stream of consciousness that goes beyond conventional song structures. The band's musical influences form a swirling and undulating sonic matter, which has aroused the attention of illustrious meteorologists.

The Obelisk reviewed the band's debut album, Intergalactic Tales of a Wandering Cephalopod, stating "there is a lot going on, but it’s also wonderfully brazen. It’s completely over the top and knows it. It doesn’t want to behave. It doesn’t want to just be another stoner band".

Octonaut fonde liberamente le sonorità tipiche dei sottogeneri del rock con espressioni musicali dai tratti psichedelici e a volte bizzarri, sfociando in una composizione che tende ad avvicinarsi ad un flusso di coscienza più che alla consueta forma della canzone.
Le diverse influenze musicali, libere di intrecciarsi o scontrarsi, di divergere o diluirsi, muovono una materia sonora vorticosa e ondivaga, che ha destato anche l'attenzione di illustri meteorologi.
