‘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. A song that is not meant to be heard, but to be lived through – like a familiar glance at an old photo album by candlelight. b...

Touched by the darkness: "inFear" by Ariahindream

"inFear" by Ariahindream

Ariahindream, also known as Ariah, is a synth-noir singer, songwriter and producer from East London. Dark and sensual, her approach to downtempo electronica delivers a cinematic and ever-changing sound world, offering listeners an otherworldly escape. Her debut album is due for release in April 2023.
Ariah’s most recent single from the album, Inside, presented a bitter sequel to the first single, Selene. It explored the dark side of the love story between the Grecian Moon Goddess and a mortal shepherd, and the deity’s subsequent descent from the heavens to a cold, cruel world. Flooded with pain, melancholy and sorrow, the musical narrative deepens in inFear, an emotionally intense production laced with a visceral, heart-wrenching and tortured energy.

Eine schaurige Ballade, die den Zustand des Lebens in Angst und Isolation darstellt. Gespenstisch und sphärenhaft die Stimmung, es ist die letzte Single aus Ariahs mit Spannung erwarteten Debütalbum, das im April 2023 erscheinen soll. 
Synth-Noir Artist Ariahindream meldet sich mit "inFear" furios zurück und taucht mit ihrem neuen Release tief in einen von Verlust und Angst geprägten mythischen Kosmos ein. Fazit: finest downtempo electronica, touched by the darkness of the world.
