‘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.

Today marks the release of the "Jetstreams EP" by Halal Hardcore, a remarkable collection of four tracks by a still relatively unknown duo from Vienna. Halal Hardcore combines experimental guitar sounds with downtempo beats, which they skilfully refine with catchy hooklines, creating a unique sound atmosphere. 
They complement this with meaningful lyrics or even just text passages, as impressively shown in the song ‘Homie an die Drogen verloren’. The successful debut Jetstreams EP was remixed and mastered by Audiomovski Records
Halal Hardcore will also promote their release this month with concerts in Austria, Portugal, Serbia, and Hungary. It is definitely worth listening to; it lands on our playlist and, as far as I know, there is also a cassette version of the good piece.
