Capturing the moments and energy of a psychedelic rock show on an album isn’t easy, but Octopus Nebula has managed to do just that on its full-length debut. Right from the start, “Robin Your Mind” introduces the band with a deep, ritualistic chant before the truest display of O-Neb’s composing and songwriting talent comes through on cuts like “Old School Days,” “Octopied” and the title track, which all culminate in jam-satisfying crescendos. Toward the end of the album, “Asoyo” goes a little heavy on the vocal-distortion effects of a soothing female voice, while “Anahata,” the mild-tempered closer, complements the high-energy, fast-paced songs that make up the core of Through the Next Door.
