‘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: Moody Jr. - "Breaking into cars"

Breaking into cars

Woodstock, Ny - Paul Moody is releasing the first single from his upcoming Moody Jr. album. The album is called Songs From Youth and is set to be released at the end of the Summer and was recorded after Paul moved from Nashville to New York and was living in a small windowless cabin in the woods without running water. He made this humble album about his childhood because as he puts it, “It was much cheaper than therapy”, sagt Paul darüber. Die erste Veröffentlichung "Breaking into Cars" untersucht eine dysfunktionale Familiendynamik, und die daraus resultierende destruktive Suche nach Selbstausdruck. Musikalisch betrachtet verschmilzt hier Indie Folk mit Classic Folk, die Akustikgitarre als roter Faden; etwas an Leonard Cohen erinnernd weht uns der Wind wie ein Blatt von einem Baum durch die Geschichte, die Story, eine Aufarbeitung der Jugend. Wie ein Glockenspiel im Wind, harmonisch und beruhigend, klingt die Melodie der Gitarre auf der einen Seite,  dem gegenüber die Lyrics, die wie eine bedrohliche dunkle Wolke wirken. "Breaking into Cars", eine Geschichte, eine Aufarbeitung und vor allem Folk at it's finest.
