Please Insert Coin: ‘Games’ by The Octopus Division

‘Games’ by The Octopus Division If you love the 80s and don't know Matt Muncie (aka The Octopus Division), you've definitely missed something. But as it's never too late for good music, you can catch up on what you've missed anytime and almost anywhere.  The Octopus Division's latest work is called ‘Games’ and once again represents the decade of neon lights perfectly. The major sequences are classically chosen, and you'll be hooked from the start. Back in the world of arcade games, the song becomes an intense journey of self-discovery, describing personal growth. Timelessness and shared experiences emphasize the importance of interpersonal bonds. ‘Games’ creates a dreamy atmosphere that allows you to immerse yourself in another world and makes you think about the future - all because you pressed the start button.  The entire production clearly bears Matt's signature, with classic drums, synth arrangements, and above all, the usual concise vocal part, which...

The Artist: Cathedral Birds - "4 Songs about love and disaster in the year ..."

 4 Songs About Love And Disaster In The Year Of The Horse


An uplifting ballad from Sheffield narrative songwriting duo Cathedral Birds. The year of the horse was one of the coldest on record. We were sixteen. Our parents divorced. It was many years ago. It still resonates as middle aged men. It was the year of discovery. The year of experiment. The year of not knowing which way to go. We took walks on the moors. Saw a buzzard for the first time. Watched it disappear into the heavens. We wrote this song during lockdown. Sent the lyrics back and forth and exchanged idea's. It still gives us chills. 
Das war die "Ausgangsinformation", klingt doch interessant, oder nicht? Was kann man sich erwarten? Wie schon beim Vorgänger, das Songwriting wird großgeschrieben wie auch die Arrangements der Instrumentierung. Erlesene Klänge passend zur Stimmung der einzelnen Tracks werden frei Haus geliefert. Alle 4 Songs auf der EP "4 Songs about Love and Disaster in the year of the horse" stehen für bzw. zeigen das Liedermacher-Talent sowie auch die Begabung Songs zu arrangieren respektive zu produzieren. Gut gemacht und definitiv Wert einmal reinzuhören, mein persönlicher Anspieltipp: "Save in the fire",  Cathedral Birds und ihre neue EP, now available.
