‘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.

#ListenNOW: "We Had No Model (Album)" by Prophet Mountains

"We Had No Model" by Prophet Mountains

Prophet Mountains is a musical duo that breaks the mold and challenges the status quo. "We Had No Model", their debut album, is a bold declaration of who they are and where they want belong, a battle cry for the wanderers and dreamers, who search for their spot in the ever-changing world. Their sound can be described as a fusion of psychedelic and electronic pop music, inspired by a spectrum of artists, from Philip Glass to Funkadelic, from Nina Simone to My Bloody Valentine. 
The name of the band comes from the Hebrew word Nabi, which also conjures up a visionary art movement that embraces artistic freedom and transcendence. The lyrics are intimate and healing, voicing a bitter and redeeming anger, a defiance of models and norms, a celebration of uncertainty and liberation. 
From the dark and dismal days of 2015 to the bright and warm ones of 2023, it has been a long journey. Prophet Mountains' is a voyage from darkness to light, like a fuzzy picture that comes into focus gradually. Music that can be classified almost as a revelation. Amazing album by a fantastic band!
