‘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.

’Sinking Ship’ (from the Album ’Time can Wait’)’ by Fleabustiers

‘Sinking Ship’ by Fleabustiers

The pandemic posed significant challenges, yet it also unveiled unexpected opportunities, as demonstrated by Fleabustiers. This artist collective harnessed the isolation to merge their unique talents into a unified project. The fruits of their labor are songs they can proudly showcase. One of these songs is ‘Sinking Ship,’ a poignant track that comments on society’s current divide with a note of caution. It reflects the tendency to tackle problems in isolation or even to take contrary actions, ultimately leading to the worst possible consequences. 
Musically, we find ourselves in a gentle yet expressive indie pop meets soul environment that occasionally reminds one of the cover ‘Easy’ by Faith No More and radiates a balance between strength and hope on the one hand, and resignation and stagnation on the other. This emotional dualism characterizes the song and makes it something special. Those drawn to such a rich emotional palette will find the album ‘Time Can Wait’ a veritable goldmine. 
This collection showcases the collective’s versatility, featuring other standout tracks like ‘About You,’ ‘Soleil de Plomb,’ ‘Tragic Carpet,’ and ‘Favourite Person.’ To put it succinctly, ‘Time Can Wait’ is an album that demands immediate listening – because in this instance, time indeed will not wait.
