‘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.

The Fictionals’ Post-Punk Elixir ‘Don’t Worry About The Time’

‘Don’t Worry About The Time’ by The Fictionals

When the music you long to hear on the radio remains absent or unplayed, the best course of action is to forge your own path. 
The Fictionals
And so, The Fictionals were conceived, a band that now roams the ethereal airwaves with purpose. Their latest creation, ‘Don’t Worry About The Time,’ serves as a post-punk elixir, a second single that emerged just last week, breathing new life into our post-punk souls.
Drawing inspiration from New Wave and post-punk echoes, their creative indie rock reveals remarkable intensity. Expressive vocals engage in a melodic duel with the deliciously dirty guitar sound, while the beat section rhythmically treads forward. Around the 2:30 mark, the bass, true to its genre, briefly whispers its presence, adding a wonderful short and simple bassline.
Granting the guitar unrestricted freedom proves a stroke of brilliance, painting alternative hues on the imaginary canvas created by Cameron and Liam Wright, Jesús Menacho, and Phil Nachum. 
With ‘Don’t Worry About The Time,’ The Fictionals seamlessly blend the familiar with the novel, heralding a future where their sonic magic continues to captivate us.
