Finnish music group blending gentle psychedelic and folk textures with clear 1960s/1970s and Canterbury influences; best known (in these reviews) for the album Victorian Wonders.

The review places the band in Helsinki (2018) and notes a guest appearance by Paul Roland on Victorian Wonders; the music is compared to Barrett-era Floyd and Robert Wyatt and described as melancholic and gently psychedelic.

A lyrical, enthusiastic review by luludia praises Octopus Syng's Victorian Wonders as gentle psychedelic folk rooted in 1960s/70s and Canterbury influences. The album is described as melancholic, delicate and evocative, with references to Barrett-era Floyd, Robert Wyatt and a guest appearance by Paul Roland. The music is portrayed as subtle, pastoral and lightly mysterious.

For:Fans of psychedelic folk, listeners of 60s/70s psychedelia and Canterbury-scene enthusiasts.

 The Octopus Syng come from Finland and I know little, if not almost nothing, about Finland.
