The band name may not be familiar as yet but it's members will be. 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. As you would expect from Sullivan and Manuel's lineage 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.

The bands debut full length, Axis Swim Scar, will be released through Hidden Shoal on the 15th of April with the first single dropping on the 25th of February. Hidden Shoal will also be releasing a deluxe compilation re-issue of their first two EPs later in the year.
