Enigmatic Musician Ogtopus Presents Dreamy Psych-Pop Track ‘GoneBro’: Ogtopus is a musician and producer based in Cologne, Germany. The elusive musician has a DIY-attitude to his creations, writing all his own lyrics and music which he records and produces himself. With elements of funk, indie, artrock and trip-hop in his sound, Ogtopus combines a melting pot of genres to create his unique and otherworldly offerings. Following on from his latest release ‘Rockstar’, Ogtopus now returns with his dreamy new single ‘GoneBro’. The track features an easygoing vocal line that seamlessly floats across and gentle rhythm, warm synths and psychedelic-tinged guitars.

“This song is about a faded friendship. We’ve all experienced that. You have a good friend, maybe the best, and then life gets busier or you drift in different directions (geographically or mentally)… One day you turn back and realize that friendship is gone and it will never be as before again.” Ogtopus sheds light on the meaning behind the track.

To achieve the perfect percussion on the track, Ogtopus joined forces with acclaimed percussionist Rhani Krija, who has recorded with the likes of Sting.
