‘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.

Fateful Entanglements: “In Every Way But One - EP” by Binding Blank Pages

“In Every Way But One - EP” by Binding Blank Pages

A debut EP titled “In Every Way But One,” featuring members with roots in Greece, the Netherlands, France, and the Czech Republic – welcome to Binding Blank Pages. The band’s 6-track work offers complex guitar layering, introspective lyrics, and dynamic sound escalations that harmonise in their brilliance.

Nuanced vocal lines and melancholic melody leads culminate in distorted soundscapes where the turbulence dissolves into a feeling of acceptance. 
The opener “Passersby” captivates with its evolutionary structure, while “Small Steps” finds a delicate balance between vehemence and playfulness. “Skies” invites a foray into the realms of New Romantic, carried by an ambiance that radiates an almost tangible romance. “Indigo Veil” leads back, prompts a brief pause, and lays the groundwork for “Again & Again” before the final title track “In Every Way But One” completes the work with a grand final chord. 
Binding Blank Pages navigate with finesse through the fields of indie rock, skilfully incorporating elements of other musical genres. Fateful entanglements, introspective self-reflection, and the melancholy of lost affection do not remain in musical stagnation but unfold an EP that is far from content-empty pages and instead reveals a musical essence that captivates the listener. In summary: simply a magnificent debut.
