‘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.

A Haunting Gasp of Existence: ‘I Fell’ by Whipper Snipper

‘I Fell’ by Whipper Snipper

In the very nexus where vocals nestle into the ear, their ethereal wriggling entwined with the vintage synth ambiance, where sensibility converges with sensuality and suffering births positive emotions, emerges the enigmatic electro band Whipper Snipper from Melbourne, Australia. It was in 2023 when they released several works into the market, and one of them is/was ‘I Fell.’
Dark post-punk that never abandons its dreaminess provides us with a picture shaded in Siouxsie and the Banshees hues. The gray-on-gray mood, simultaneously monotonous and agonizingly deeply emotional, evokes an atmosphere akin to the final gasp of existence, a faint pulse that whispers a haunting tale. 
Simultaneously enigmatic and exhilarating, ‘I Fell’ caters to the depths of the dark genre aficionado’s heart, stoking an insatiable yearning, for more, specifically more songs from Whipper Snipper.
