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 Finger

The Self Help Group haben ihre nächste Single veröffentlich und haben mich dabei völlig überrascht, perfekter Indiesound, ein bisschen Uptempo und eingängiger Gesang überzeugen sofort von Beginn an. Der Refrain, wo sich der Gesang besonders hervorhebt,  bleibt einem für eine Weile im Ohr hängen und das Video dazu find ich ebenfalls gelungen. Breaks und Bridges ohne den Fluss des Tempos zu verlieren sorgen für weitere Highlights. Da gibts nichts dran zu meckern. So we have to say Achtung: an uptempo melody meets a dreamy sound.
