‘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.

“Metamorphosis” by Blossom Club: A Synth Serenade!

“Metamorphosis” by Blossom Club

“Miracle,” the debut track of the duo, was also my first acoustic encounter with their work, a piece that had already proven convincing with its sophisticated arrangement and catchy vocal performance.

With “Metamorphosis,” Blossom Club returns to our blog, offering a preview of their album expected in October and making a sonorous statement. The Parisian duo is generally known for their use of analog synthesizers and disco beats. 
Thematically, the track is dedicated to the existential struggle of preserving one’s identity in times of change. The vocals shine again in perfection: delicate, vulnerable, yet sublime, they seamlessly integrate into the harmonious overall picture. A skillful alternation between vocal highlights and warm synthesizer sounds dictates the course of the piece until, quite surprisingly, around the two-and-a-half-minute mark, the gate to the disco era of the late '70s and early '80s swings open. A phenomenal metamorphosis that gently subsides towards the end, thus pointing the way "home." 
Blossom Club elegantly blends modern synth-pop with disco elements and creates with “Metamorphosis” a catchy and smooth sound that will captivate both dance enthusiasts and lovers of relaxed lounge music.
