Sex Machine Octopus – I Know
Laurent Boland (vocals, guitar), Oliver Cohen-Daigle (bass), Samuel Morissette (drums) and Georges Gagnon (guitar) are all from Montreal. They met in high school in 2015, where they formed Sex Machine Octopus. Since their first EP Fish In The Sea (2016), they have worked on their debut full-length Plastic Scenes.
During the making of this album, the band’s music style shifted from soulful indie folk to punchy, groovy alternative rock. Both styles are represented on the record, making it an eclectic bunch of songs.
One of the nine tracks on Plastic Scenes is the Canadian outfit’s new single I Know. The band say about it: “With I Know, we took one of our older, less mature songs we had written in high school and exchanged the sad, bluesy ballad parts of it for something way more groovy and badass. It’s still a love song in every way but now it feels fresher and a lot more like summer than previous versions. Honestly, we just want people to have fun with this one. It was one of our first tries as well to push the band into a much more groovy and fun universe.”
