Album Notes & Community Reviews

An overlooked gem of the British underground, 'Restless Night' bridges the whimsical melodies of late-60s psychedelic pop with the theatricality of early glam and art rock. Octopus delivers a playful, highly melodic album filled with surreal lyricism and buoyant vocal harmonies.
