"Poetry n' Lotion has been working on a follow-up to their high quality 2010 debut, Kentucky Monkey, that more adequately reflects where they are now, minus mandolin player Jim Page and plus trumpeter and crowd pumper-upper Kenny Pullin. The recent addition of a fifth member, Auto!Automatic!!'s Alex Fedele on trombone and percs, puts the band lineup total at five as rounded out by guitarist/keysman Matt E. Lee, lowend massager Thomas Murray and rhythms slayer John Nowicki.
In a recent email, Lee said he first started writing brassy dramatic single "Octopoda" in 2009 after the death of Masterati's Jerry Fuchs, and messed with it for a few years before bringing it to the band, "around the time we were doing the Sabbath record, which is pretty prevalent with the ending that Nowicki wrote. We debuted this at SxSW in 2010 to about a dozen people (half WMNF'ers) and this version features the new lineup with Alex on trombone and our engineer/producer Owen Meats on güiro." - Leilani Polk, Creative Loafing
