‘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.

Never Lose Control: ‘Devil in Blue’ by Duplexity

‘Devil in Blue’ by Duplexity

... is a powerful musical statement that boldly stands out from the usual melancholic sounds of break-up songs. Instead of emphasising the sadness, it takes control of the painful act of breaking up and gives it a rebellious energy. Siblings Savannah Judy and Luke Judy, aka Duplexity, present us, with their new release, a terrific banger. 
Duplexity
A powerful guitar riff and strong vocals merge into a force that heals the wounds of the past. ‘Devil in Blue’ is an act of self-assertion and vibrates with energy, as if freeing itself from the chains of the past. It's as if the Judy siblings are taking back control of their own emotions and transforming them into a powerful sound. It is a musical rebellion that reminds us that we have the strength to free ourselves from painful experiences and write our own story. 
In this anthem, the music virtually lashes out, but it never loses control. It is an outcry that carries us along and encourages us. When we listen to the song, we feel the energy that drives us to leave the past behind and focus on the here and now. ‘Devil in Blue’ is pure energy and a reminder that despite all the pain and challenges, we are strong and that we are in control of our own lives.
