‘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.

Psychedelic Dream Pop touched by Melancholy: ‘You’re On My Mind’ (EP) by Cabin

Cabin (aka Adam McCabe)

Cabin

...(aka Adam McCabe) began crafting his songwriting and production skills as part of post-punk outfit Brass Phantoms, and has had his music featured on the likes of BBC Radio 6 with Steve Lamacq, Spotify’s Hot New Bands, Clash Magazine, Hot Press, The Last Mixed Tape, Golden Plec and more.
In producing, writing, recording, and mixing his work, Cabin offers a singular artistic voice, yet attempts to push beyond individual limitations into grander compositions. Drawing influence from the classic songwriters, his psychedelic sound is glittered with the palpable anxiety of Post-Punk, and exuberant tenderness of Soul music.



‘You’re On My Mind’ is the latest EP release from Dublin producer Cabin. Having launched the project with a collection of four distinct singles, Cabin returns with ‘You’re On My Mind’, an EP of reworked versions of the original four tracks. Complete with crisp drum machines, smooth electric piano, and warm guitars, these raw and moody interpretations are set to ground the songs and create the atmosphere of an expressive live performance.

Er war schon mal bei uns zu Gast und wird es auch noch öfters sein, die Rede ist von Cabin, Singer, Songwriter und Producer aus Dublin. Im Gepäck hat er seine EP "You're on my mind", bestückt hat er diese mit vier wunderbaren Tracks die er in einer alternativen stripped back Version aufgenommen hat. Psychedlische Melancholie meets Dream Pop die einen gefangen nimmt und so schnell nicht wieder los lässt.
Persönlich finde ich diese Versionen noch besser als ihre Originale und diese waren bereits richtig gut. In diesem Sinne, unbedingt mal reinhören, es lohnt sich auf alle Fälle.
