Octopus Ride is a band based in Malmö, Sweden. Originally formed as Eskimo Chain in 1999, the group developed from Syd Barrett imitators, via art rock septet, to inventors of “psychedelic post-punk” (2002) and, when incorporating members of VED, “mantra rock”.

The Octopus Ride LP, released in 2013 on vinyl and via digital download, reflects the history of the band by bringing together the styles that have characterized the various phases of Octopus Ride, and featuring the creative input of members past and present. More info here.
