‘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.

"Unica's Cloud" by DeLaurentis

DeLaurentis

It’s the story of a French little girl who would watch her dad playing music, and quickly understood that musical notes could spring up and fly away from her arms, her hands, her fingers. The music was a part of her. With this revelation, the sky opened up to her. After several years spent at the Conservatory, she went back to her hometown, where alone, she learned from her new strange friends : keyboards, machines, and computers. She worked. A lot. With strength and temper, pleasure and ease. This young woman progressively became DeLaurentis.


Unica's Cloud

Mit diesem Track steigt sie eindeutig eine Stufe höher, höher in Richtung Perfektionismus trifft Abstraktismus. Ein klangliches Duell auf Augenhöhe, von Vocals versus Synthpatterns und Klängen. Beide ergänzen sich immer wieder genial und verschmelzen dabei ineinander. Das eine ist dem anderen seine Inspiration, würde ich behaupten. Animiert und ermutigt vom Gegenüber erklimmt die Künstlerin dabei ungeahnte musikalische Höhen. Ein Chorus welcher klingt als würden sich die Pforten öffnen, die Pforten in ein musikalisches Eldorado, um dann wieder in die Zerbrechlichkeit zurückzukehren. Sowie das ganze Album, in übrigen ein Konzept-Album, welches vor kurzem erschien, steht dieser Track im Zusammenhang mit den anderen Songs. Das wunderbare an diesem Album ist, dass es so gut wie keine Schwachstelle aufweist und deswegen we have to say Achtung: dive into DeLaurentis world with Unica.
