‘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.

"Bad Man ft. Beeson" by Pink Honey Moan

"Bad Man ft. Beeson" by Pink Honey Moan

As Pink Honey Moan, singer/songwriter Jared Lindbloom has embarked on a journey beginning on the rolling prairies of his home state of South Dakota to the eastern seaboard. Teetering between the dusty, folky, homespun songs of his early EPs and the electro-surf-rock & pop of bands FISHDOCTOR, Stargazy, and Tredmills, the music Lindbloom crafts as Pink Honey Moan wraps direct, heartfelt lyricism in swaths of washed-out electronics and soaring melody. 
"Bad Man" isn't so much about a nefarious character as it is more akin to the sentiment of "it's bad man." You made your bed, now you gotta sleep in it. I wanted it to sit at the intersection of Nick Cave x Elliott Smith x The Magnetic Fields during a scene in an episodic crime thriller like True Detective. Bad Man features vocals from alt-pop artist, Beeson, and trumpet from French musician, daoud.

Es ist die zweite Single aus seinem "upcoming" Album ("The Live Life Girl Will Arm You"), wir sprechen von Pink Honey Moan und "Bad Man". Mit an Board waren dieses Mal Beeson (vocals) und daoud (trumpet) und das Resultat kann sich hören lassen. 
Eleganter Pop, der hypnotisiert, musikalisch werden dunkle Gassen und Hinterhöfe skizziert, in denen ein distinguierter Wind weht, welcher eindeutig die Handschrift von Beeson und daoud trägt. Das gesamte Arrangement überzeugt, klingt souverän und lässt genügend Platz für die Protagonisten. Pink Honey Moan befindet sich eindeutig am richtigen Weg und liefert mit "Bad Man" einen begnadeten Vorboten zum Album ab.
