As Okta Logue prepare for the release of their next studio album the influence of their own side projects is becoming apparent. Rollergirls; powerchording energetic postrock and Benno Herz & Band; a somewhat more relaxed indie folk creation are being gently folded into the Progressive, Psychedelic tones of Okta Logue to create something quite unique.

Okta Logue was formed by Benno Herz, Robert Herz and Philip Meloi 3 years ago as Zapphire Okta Logue but, with the addition of the fourth member Nicolai Hildebrandt, the band found their sound and a new name. Their last album, Ballads of a Burden was first released on Nasoni and found some critical acclaim.
The first song on the recording “Bright Lights” has old Prog Rockers holding back tears of reminiscence as the video, produced and directed by Nicolai, swoops around a slow motion garden party to the undulant tones of Okta Logue. The video won several awards and enjoyed several film festival showings.
awesome sound guys
beautiful songs!!!
