‘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.

Recently Discovered: The Thinkers

The Thinkers

The smoke clears and the Seattle-style sound of the 70s blows around our ears: The Thinkers are on stage and combine 70s rock and grunge in ‘Let's go’ to create a sound that's really heavy and dirty.

Anyone who thinks that the band is only dedicated to this genre is very much mistaken. Although ‘Come to Me’ is also dominated by heavy guitars, it takes a completely different direction. ‘Coffee Song’ flirts a little with folk rock and sounds almost poppy. On a side note, there is also a fantastic acoustic version of ‘Come to Me’, which is really at home in the 70s and definitely casts a spell over the listener. We definitely have The Thinkers on our radar for 2025. They're on our playlist at the moment! So all that remains to be said is: keep your ears open, because The Thinkers are sure to have many more musical surprises in store for 2025.
