‘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.

"Minor Peace" (Album) by Seek Warmth

Seek Warmth

... started as a lo-fi pop/indie two piece in Bristol, formed in the corridors of a school by two teachers. Songs quickly formed, with an emphasis on melodies and strange structures they called 'math pop'.
A support with Portland's Lithics soon followed. At gig number two (at The Louisiana) Paul and Jay met drummer Cal and they became a three-piece, adding powerhouse beats to the mix. Several gigs later and the band gained a bassist called Miles and honed their sound to something more brash and post-punk and while still retaining pop hooks.
During lockdown one they recorded their first album, Minor Peace, in the basement of the Louisiana, with producer Will Carkeet (Pet Shimmers/Robbie and Mona) to be the first release on the new Bristol label Elastic Furniture.

Seek Warmth - "Minor Peace" (Album)

Wir begeben uns heute nach Bristol, ein Ort der dafür bekannt ist gute Musik bzw. Künstler hervorzubringen. Dieses Mal ist es eine Band namens Seek Warmth, welche sich vor einiger Zeit zusammentat um ein großartiges Album zu veröffentlichen. 
"Minor Peace" heißt der Longplayer, der unter anderem die überragenden Singles "Gather/Howl" und "Sunrise Sunrise" enthält. Dazu gesellt sich ein weiteres Highlight namens "Pillar to post", eines meiner Favoriten und ein Stück namens "Something usual", welches beinahe schon Richtung dreamy Indie Pop tendiert. "Mind your thinking" und "Wicked turn" runden das gelungene Erstlingswerk der Band gekonnt ab, wobei letzteres nochmals für einen abschließenden Höhepunkt sorgt. 
Der Gesamteindruck von "Minor Peace" ist definitiv außerordentlich gut und bietet eine perfekte Mixture aus LoFi Alternative meets Poppy Post Punk Vibes in der catchy Melodies im Vordergrund stehen und die Arrangements für Abwechslung und Überraschungen sorgen. Listen NOW! ... you will not regret it!
