It seems the Octopus Project have found their zany-filmic match with the Zellner Brothers. The local sibling team of David and Nathan put together this video for OP’s song “Truck” off of their latest album, Hello, Avalanche, making the electro-bleeps the soundtrack for what appears to be a military air-show turned Dresden firebombing. The filmmakers have a number of shorts viewable on their website, which also discloses the interesting tidbit that “at the Florida Film Festival, David was urinated on by an alligator.” There’s even a picture.
The Octopus Project are wrapping up their extensive North American tour in support of Hello, Avalanche and will finally be back in Austin for a hometown show at Emo’s on November 16 with Horse + Donkey and Cue.
