Description:
"The songs are tightened compared to the Mercury-nominated last album `Free The Bees`, meaning that, while they`re no longer as strange as they once were, they`re far more beautiful...Bands like this can stumble from trying to do many things simultaneously. On `Octopus` The Bees find their groove and sound blissfully unaware whether anyone else is listening. You should, they`ve made their best album yet. -- Dan Martin, nme.com (Astral Weeks)
