‘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.

Folk & Indie-Pop meets Electronic: "Omens (Album)" by KAYAM

KAYAM

"Omens (Album)" by KAYAM

From the intimacy of folk to indie-pop, organic sounds, and alternative, the sound of the duo has a lot to offer in terms of nuances and originality. The diverse sounds that animate the band's music are deeply interlinked with the pair's diverse backgrounds in life. The siblings enjoyed a multicultural upbringing, as they experienced life in places as diverse as England, Germany, and Israel. All of these places and their different twists really inspired the band's music and ability to continually expand their soundscape in order to portray a vast range of personal experiences and beyond.
The album features eleven songs, including the track "Omens" which is the album's groundbreaking lead single. KAYAM are always ready to embrace new creative challenges and take their music to a more personal dimension, allowing their creativity and wide range of influences to stand out.
From the edge of alternative music down to the melodies of alt-pop, Kim and Mike are always eager to splice up different influences into a cohesive and one-of-a-kind sound.


KAYAM sind zurück und bringen mit "Omens" ein neues Album auf den Markt. Ein Longplayer welcher überzeugen kann, Indie-Pop meets Folk, organic Sounds meets Alternative, Klänge die mit ihren feinen Nuancen selbst zu "Storyteller" werden. 
Ein Album, das den Hörer auf eine Reise schickt, 11 Songs, bei denen man sich zurücklehnt und die Kunst genießt. Highlights respektive Anspieltipps sind vor allem "Lately", "Days" oder auch "Bloom", um nur ein paar zu nennen. KAYAM gelingt mit "Omens" die perfekte Gradwanderung zwischen den Genres, die perfekte Balance zwischen Storytelling und Soundlandschaft und kreieren mit ihrem zweiten Album ein kleines Meisterwerk!
