‘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 Guitar-Infused Journey Through Neon Nights: “Nervous Tendencies” by Violetta

“Nervous Tendencies” by Violetta

Violetta’s sound character reveals itself as an exquisite synthesis of synthetic rhythms and melodies that celebrate both the energetic essence of Electronic Body Music and the melodic allure of Synthpop. 
At the same time, they draw creative inspiration from the cinematic style of Nicolas Winding Refn and the musical legacy of Peter Hook with New Order. Wyatt Oberholzer and Michael Walsh, the minds behind Violetta, undergo an artistic metamorphosis: they turn away from their hardcore punk beginnings in bands like Chemical Fix and Fixation and embrace electronic music. 
Now, they have released “Nervous Tendencies”, a hypnotic masterpiece that takes listeners on a nocturnal drive through a neon-lit cityscape. The rhythm and the prancing melody reflect the energy and momentum of an urban life, while the lyrics convey a sense of danger and confinement. A guitar intermezzo that sounds reminiscent of '80s rock adds emotional depth and creates a nostalgic yet contemporary feel. Despite its tension, the song is danceable and offers an escape for those overwhelmed by the city’s pace, inviting a journey of self-expression and nocturnal energy.
