‘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.

"Chinese Room" by Scenius

"Chinese Room" by Scenius 

"Scenius are making music for the night people, for introverts, outsiders, freaks and geeks. They make music for the melancholy, the dreamers, the renegades and the maverick. For the masses ….for us!", so gelesen in ihrem Press-Release. Scenius melden sich mit ihrer neuen Single "Chinese Room" zurück und geben uns damit einen kleinen Ausblick auf "life is a thing", ihren demnächst erscheinenden Longplayer. 
Die neue Veröffentlichung "Chinese Room" ist dunkler und eindringlicher als der Vorgänger (High Low"), die Melancholie ist allerdings geblieben. Brillante Synth-Sequenzen zeichnen ein wehmütiges Bild, welches durch die Vocals noch intensiviert wird. 
Man steigt hinab in den Underground um Vintage-Synthesizer zu huldigen und sich dröhnenden Basslines und sinnlichen Grooves hinzugeben. "Chinese Room" von Scenius ist definitiv finest Dark Wave im Stile der "Früh-Achtziger".
