The Octopus Project is an American indietronica band based in Austin, Texas, revered for their eclectic and energetically experimental sound. Formed in 1999, the group consists of multi-instrumentalists Josh Lambert, Yvonne Lambert, and Toto Miranda. Known for their fusion of digital and analog instruments, they create a distinctive blend of pop melodies, noisy guitars, and electronic elements that defy easy categorization. Their approach to music is marked by a playful engagement with sound and an inclination towards the avant-garde, which is paralleled by their visually arresting live performances often featuring an array of synchronized video projections.

Over the years, The Octopus Project has released a number of albums and EPs, with their most recent ventures including soundtracks for motion pictures. This dimension of their work showcases their adaptability and prowess in crafting atmospheric and emotionally resonant scores, as demonstrated in the albums "Damsel (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)" and "Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter (Original Soundtrack Recording)". They have also celebrated their acclaimed 2007 album "Hello, Avalanche" with an 11th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, underscoring their ongoing relevance and the enduring appeal of their music. The Octopus Project's innovation and dedication to their art have secured them a unique spot in the pantheon of contemporary experimental music.
