‘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.

Soda Cracker Jesus

... is the rock n roll brainchild of singer-songwriter-producer Regan Lane. His debut single My Anthem has charted on many independent radio stations worldwide, rising to number 15 on the prestigious Radio Indie Alliance Charts.

SCJ’S references are easy to draw, from a beefed-up Beatles or punked-out Kinks to those who took that sound forward including Robyn Hitchcock, Julian Cope, XTC, Anton Barbeau, and many more. What you will find once the needle hits the wax is effortless grooves and lush harmonies along with a relentless drive of clattering and cool backbeats and attitude. Energy meets euphoria in a two and half minute sonic workout.

SCJ's first 3 singles My Anthem, Drug My Soul and Kill It Tomorrow have all been played on over 100 indie radio stations and charted on the prestigious Indie Alliance Charts including numerous #1's.

Kaleidoscope

"My dad and I had a complicated relationship and before he passed we were good. This song is about the emotions and feelings that come with that. I think anyone at any age can relate to dealing with loss.", so der Künstler.

Nach Krachern wie "My Anthem" oder "Drug My Soul" lässt es SCJ jetzt etwas ruhiger angehen.
Die Inspiration für "Kaleidoscope" ist getrieben von den Gefühlen einen Menschen verloren zu haben, zeichnet ein Bild des Trauerns und die damit einhergehenden Emotionen. 
"Normalerweise", sagt Regan, "entblöße ich meine Seele nicht so weit". Sein Vater und er hatten eine komplizierte Beziehung und bevor er starb, waren sie gut, diese Momente einzufangen und zu verarbeiten werden dabei aufgegriffen. 

Musikalisch, etwas nostalgisch angehauchter Psychedelic meets Indie Pop mit Lennon-esquen Vocals, vermag Soda Cracker Jesus erneut zu begeistern und erinnert dabei auch an den grandiosen "70er Jahre Bowie". "Kaleidoscope" by Soda Cracker Jesus klingt wie eine Reminiszenz vergangener Tage, zugleich ist es auch ein emotionaler Abschluss sowie ein musikalisches Andenken.
