Octopus (The Bees album)
Octopus is the third album by the British band The Bees, released in 2007. "Octopus" was self-produced in the band's own basement studio, The Steam Rooms, on the Isle of Wight. A high-rip version of "Octopus" was leaked in its entirety in December 2006, three months before its scheduled release. The leak also led to the album's initial release date of 19 March being moved to a week later. The CD version of "Octopus" is also an enhanced disc, which enables owners of the album to join The Bees' mailing list and  have access to exclusive free content, including a downloadable version of the "Who Cares What The Question Is?" music video. Critical reception. "NME" wrote: "On "Octopus" The Bees find their groove and sound blissfully unaware whether anyone else is listening. You should, they’ve made their best album yet." "Clash" wrote that "as multi-instrumentalists, The Bees create a magnificent, almost Spector-ish palette." Track listing. All songs written and performed by The Bees.
