Pitchfork

We're learning a lot about recent Forkcast stars the Octopus Project all the time, and we like what we're finding out so far. One might even proffer that they're wrapping their eight arms around us and sinking their tentacles in. Or one might not, because that's a terrible metaphor.

The Octopus Project recently revealed some (but not much) information on their forthcoming album, the follow up to their full-length collaboration with Pitchfork faves Black Moth Super Rainbow from last year. The new Octopus album has no title yet-- or, for that matter, cover art-- but it does have a tracklist and a release date: October 9 from Peek-a-Boo Records (tracks after the jump, you know the drill).

The Project play with Dan Deacon and Erase Errata this weekend at Brooklyn's McCarren Park Pool, and will follow that with three full months of fast food and some dudes' floors come August. Along the way-- a long, long way that includes repeat visits to several venues-- they'll get cozy with acts like Aesop Rock and Stereo Total.
