<h1>The October Solution</h1>
<img class="alignleft wp-image-11656 size-medium" src="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/The-October-Solution-Band-Pic-300x224.jpg" alt="The October Solution" width="300" height="224" />Dream-rock architects The October Solution are Drew Sullivan (<a title="Slow Dancing Society" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/slow-dancing-society/">Slow Dancing Society</a>, <a title="City of Satellites" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/city-of-satellites/">City of Satellites</a>) and Jarrod Manuel (<a title="City of Satellites" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/city-of-satellites/">City of Satellites</a>). While steeped in ’80s nostalgia, their music moves beyond familiar tropes to stand as defiantly futuristic and progressive. Their songs resonate with soaring guitars, ethereal vocals, and deftly woven pop melodies, melding the incandescent ambient sounds of Slow Dancing Society within the propulsive songcraft of City of Satellites.

<h3>Biography</h3>
The October Solution – Drew Sullivan (<a title="Slow Dancing Society" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/slow-dancing-society/">Slow Dancing Society</a>, City of Satellites) and Jarrod Manuel (<a title="City of Satellites" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/city-of-satellites/">City of Satellites</a>) – originally formed as EO in 2011, releasing two EPs, <i>Breathe Your Air</i> and <i>Somewhere Human</i>, before changing their name to The October Solution in 2013. While the duo operate at opposite ends of the globe – with Manuel based in Adelaide, Australia and Sullivan in Spokane, USA – this independent collaboration was born from a City of Satellites production meet-up in the US, where the pair bonded over their shared love of ’80s and ’90s pop music and shoegaze.

The October Solution's debut album <i>Axis Swim Scar</i> (mastered by <a title="Jonas Munk" href="https://soundcloud.com/jonas-munk" target="_blank">Jonas Munk</a>) will see release through Hidden Shoal on 15th April 2015, followed by a deluxe compilation re-issue of their first two EPs later in the year.
