Kount Octopus is a substantive mythological creature that produces sounds and lyrics, aiming to express emotions cynically, rekount true fictional stories and comment on the invisible things we all see.
In real life, - whatever that means – Kount was formed inside Dimitris Kyriazis’ (bass) head in the spring of 2020, when he worked on the material of the first album, under mandatory confinement due to the imposed lockdown. His godfather is an electronic daemon. A year later, he collaborated with the unwearied guitarist Nikos Gangadis, and in May 2021 Markella Panagiotou took on the lead vocals, drastically contributing to the formation of the distinct sound of the band. In the summer, Pollis Adamantopoulos followed on the keyboards. Giannis Kontogiannis, who recorded some distinguishing guitar and harp passages on the project, remains close to the band, far from Greece.
In Kount’s course, several sea creatures swam with him appreciably helping him with their talents: Dimitris Dimarakos, Pavlos Logaras and Kyriakos Darivas on drums, Marina Skiadaresi (vocals) and of course Rachel Cassar, who lit up the flame, on the lead vocals.
The Κount keeps his ears open, listens to a lot of stuff and brainstorms with his tentacles consistently in order to convert it into artwork. Psychedelic 60’s, rock, funk, soul, garnished with cabaret essences and pubertal garage sweat, are fused (dis)harmonically and performed imagina- tively.

A Day After
Under Construction
As i walked through the mist
|
My sweet little beast
|
He would crave for some sweets |
Now we live in my flat |
I spent all night, trying to bring back to my mind
|
and now i can't explain it, i can't restrain it,
|
And I remembered, my teenage kisses, |
|
The first time i saw her, i took a deep breath in
i thought: "oh dear fellow, it's gonna happen again,
i stuttered my name, she loosely told me hers
|
the hours go by and i can't figure out
i 've got to hurry i've got to squeeze my mind
|
i 've got to find a way to say i want her so, |
it's no use trying, i'm going to improvise |
