‘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 Dark Side of Existence: ‘The Fear In The Hallway’ by Lessens

‘The Fear In The Hallway’ by Lessens

Lessens, picture provided by the artist
Lessens: A band from Bristol that fuses Post-Punk and Post-Rock into an innovative amalgam and conveys the glitter into the year 2024. Three musicians who undertake the exploration of the melancholic singularity of being, discern it and illuminate a fragile rainbow over the fear that besets us all at some juncture. 
‘The Fear In The Hallway’ is a song that was inspired by a horrendous nightmare of the singer. It is alluring, without adulating, strident, without bedazzling, forthright, and yet guides us on enigmatic paths to the uniqueness of their rendition. It is a nugatory attempt to reconstitute the lost, a musical excavation that divulges a lot by extirpating individual strata that are imbued with agony and affliction, but does not reinstate anything. 
Jamie Harper, Ben Curtis and Andy Holliday deliver with ‘The Fear In The Hallway’ an impeccable song of excellence that leaves us astounded, but not forlorn.
