‘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.

Dutch Rhythm Gurus Channel Madchester Magic: “Love Can Take You Places” by Lemon

“Love Can Take You Places” by Lemon

Today, we ride the wave of Lemon’s psychedelic groove, straight out of the wildest dreams of the Second Summer of Love. Primal Scream’s ecstatic reverberations, Happy Mondays’ swagger, Stone Roses’ euphoric anthems, and The Charlatans’ timeless rhythms collide with the avant-garde funk of Talking Heads, the indie jangle of The Kooks, and the electric fire of Kasabian, all converging in Lemon’s new release “Love Can Take You Places.”
Welcome to Madchester, no, scratch that, this is undoubtedly Nedchester, reimagined by a quartet of Dutch rhythm gurus who are stirring up the scene with their unique brand of funky alternative rock. 
Over 30 years ago, it was a cultural revolution that captured the spirit of a generation. It was a time when music and fashion collided, creating an explosion of self-expression that resonated through the streets of Manchester. This spirit has been embodied once more, blurring the lines between the old Hacienda gods and the boundless energy of those desiring to break free from the constraints of the conventional.
In the spirit of Madchester, our Dutch gurus channel this same energy into their music, infusing their funky alternative rock with a touch of that Madchester magic. They bring back the days when every chord struck a chord in the soul, and every beat was a call to the dance floor, a revival of those heady days when love and music were the ultimate escape.
