‘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.

#OUTNOW: "Break away" by Traumship

"Break away" by Traumship

Fridays are traditionally the days of new releases, and today I'm taking a closer look at the work "Break away" by Traumship, among others. 
"Break away" by Traumship
For those who are not yet familiar with the band: Traumship resides in Paris and has close ties to Berlin. This unique mix creates excellent cultural conditions - the vibrant Berlin techno-underground merges with the sophisticated French club scene. 
The lascivious and eloquent vocals penetrate deep into the listener's dreams, while the fine electro-synth wave with a touch of 80s flair and an echo out of the golden era of techno keeps the tempo high and releases immense energy.
The varied soundscape rises masterfully in the chorus, only to return to the basics in the verse - a constant dynamic change that gives the track a kind of pumping. This sophisticated combination of pulsating beats and très chic pop elements forms a dream dance track that takes us to the floors of capital cities. To sum up, "Break away" is an outstanding new release by Traumship, especially in terms of the overall production.
