‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division

  ‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division In ‘The Journey,’ a sonic mosaic unfolds that—permeated by neon-soaked synth pads and a melody that feels like memory—is less a song than a spiritual compass. The time that relentlessly pursues us, according to ‘Time keeps chasing us every day’, is not portrayed as an enemy, but as a constant touchstone that we face with our heads held high: ‘ We won't let the rain wash us away’ . Photography, here metaphorically as a key to the past, opens doors to moments that seem long gone but live on within us. The chorus – a kind of collective mantra – describes not just a journey, but an intertwining of stories that support each other. The garden in which hopes take root becomes a symbol of what must be nurtured in order to flourish. And when ‘ our songs have lost a note or two ’, it is not a flaw, but proof of lived depth.

The Artist: Hyooman - "Half Brain"

"Half Brain" ist die Debütsingle der aus Minneapolis stammenden Alternative Rockband Hyooman. Die Band ist soundtechnisch irgendwo zwischen dem Alt-Rock der 90er/Anfang 2000er einzuordnen. "We didn’t want to sound overly processed and “clean.” So we avoided the pursuit of technical precision and embraced “looseness” and mistakes. We want to sound like a band; the song should sound and feel like humans are playing the instruments.", sagen sie selbst. "Half Brain" hat diesen gewissen "Indieflow", was das Stück so hörenswert macht. Die Drums leiten den Track ein, gefolgt von einer klassischen zeitlosen Indiemelodie, welche durch die "Vocalparts" dann noch getoppt wird. Die Lyrics pendeln zwischen sarkastisch und selbstironisch. So we have to say Achtung: Half Brain, a remarkable debut, "completely not only half".
