The Octagon's second full length offers seventeen pared-down indie-rock bomb-tracks. It was recorded and mixed by Jerry Kee (Polvo, Superchunk) in North Carolina in an ultra-inspired three-day burst Nothing But Change is an old-school classic.

The Octagon's second album is called Nothing But Change.

The record was engineered by the infamous Jerry Kee in his studio outside Chapel Hill, NC. Jerry is a very talented engineer. Before, he worked on amazing records by Superchunk and Polvo.

The Octagon recorded and mixed the album over a period of three days.

Almost all of the songs were recorded live: there are only a few vocal overdubs. The Octagon wanted to capture the sound of an actual band in an actual room all playing their instruments at the same time. They feel they succeeded.

“Nothing But Change” will be released on August 28, 2007, by Serious Business Records. The album title is a lyric from the song “The Narrow Road to Oku.” It has two meanings:

1)change is the only constant in this world: there is nothing else besides change
2)when you have no bills in your pocket, only coins

There are seventeen songs on the record. Most of them are shorter than your average pop song. The Octagon likes it that way. They think that most pop songs are too long.
