Dr. Octagon Announces New Album Moosebumps: An Exploration Into Modern Day Horripilation for April 2018 Release

Today, Dan The Automator, Kool Keith and DJ Qbert of Dr. Octagon shared their first original song in over twenty years. “Octagon Octagon” premiered on The Fader yesterday and is just what fans expected. Kool Keith’s zany and often endearingly shameless attitude never fails to disappoint. The group made an effort with their new single to keep with the original sound that was so popular in 1996.

The single is however but a fraction of Dr. Octagon’s news. A new album, Moosebumps: an exploration into modern day horripilation, will be available on April 6th. Moosebumps is the much anticipated sequel to the group’s first album, Dr. Octagonecologyst.

The character Dr. Octagon is a time traveling gynecologist and surgeon from Jupiter. In Keith’s second album, First Come, First Served, Dr. Octagon is killed by Dr. Dooom. After being revived only to lead a short second life, Dr. Octagon again dies in Dr. Dooom 2. It is unclear whether or not these characters will resurface in the new album. Whatever it ends up being about, it’s exciting that this group is back on the scene.

Dr. Octagon
Conrad Brittenham: My name is Conrad. I am one year out of college and pursuing a career in writing and journalism. I studied literature at Bard College, in the Hudson Valley. My thesis focuses on the literal and figurative uses of disease in Herman Melville’s most famous works, including Moby-Dick, Benito Cereno, and Billy Budd. My literary research on the topic of disease carried over to more historical findings about how humans tend to deal with and think about the problem of virus and infectivity. I’ve worked at a newspaper and an ad agency, as well as for the past year at an after school program, called The Brooklyn Robot Foundry. All of these positions have influenced the way I approach my work, my writing, and the way I interact with others in a professional setting. I’ve lived in London and New York, and have always had a unique perspective on international cultural matters. I am an avid drawer and a guitarist, but I would like to eventually work for a major news publication as an investigative journalist.
