It's been exciting journey with Kavus Torabi that continues. 'October By Name' sees Kavus evolving as an artist in ways he maybe didn’t even predict himself. Both inspired by his recent work with Gong and Cardiacs, and inhabiting a serious change of modus operandi via his work to date with the improvisational project The Utopia Strong, he created a new method of writing where all styles converge and overlap

"As with the first time I heard Cardiacs at the age of sixteen and thinking ‘Oh! You can make stuff like this’, so I had a similar epiphany three decades on"

Somewhat in the great lineage of British psychedelic pathfinders through the ages (the triumvirate of Syd Barrett, Robyn Hitchcock and Julian Cope being an example) It’s at heart a bittersweet yet optimistic reverie that is pure Torabi.

"Perhaps there is no free will and we’re all just playing out the consequences of our genes, insecurities and childhood damage" he reflects on the fundamentals of this song "But I have to believe change is possible because, honestly, what’s the point in anything if it isn’t?”
