HOT TRACK: “Sabretooth Monkey” by My Octopus Mind

Music
Shelia Taylor
October 8, 2023

My Octopus Mind had me at the title.

“Sabretooth Monkey”.

My Octopus Mind hooked me on the bass and guitar.

My Octopus Mind absolutely slayed on the song.

“Sabretooth Monkey”, the latest from the experimental psych-rockers and from their forthcoming album Trying to Be Normal (November 3rd) is sheer perfection. From beat to mood to the unique sounds of the instruments…”Sabretooth Monkey” is not only a treat but a journey.

On the song, the band says,

“This is a serious song and it needs to be taken seriously. The demystification of art by explaining the art will now be explained by the art. We think you the listener should befriend a llama, buy a motorbike and take to the open road, drink diesel for breakfast, and headbutt a seagull. I’m a Sabretooth Monkey baby now get your hands off my stash. Also the bass line is fire and the guitar solo is some classic atonal chaos through the Cherry Box fuzz by Lollygagger. shout out to that wizard.”

Exquisitely said.

“Sabretooth Monkey” is exquisitely perfect.
