With Birmingham’s Supersonic Festival only a week away, the weekend’s program wouldn’t be complete without the inclusion of Divide and Dissolve, who return for their second appearance in as many years.
Led by saxophonist / guitarist Takiaya Reed, Divide and Dissolve ready their U.K. tour, which commences on Thursday here in Liverpool, with a performance in the Baltic Triangle at District.
Following 2021’s acclaimed third record, Gas Lit, Reed followed it up at the end of June this year with Systemic.
Building on the momentum of Gas Lit, Systemic is an album equal parts visceral and atmospheric; Divide and Dissolve’s focus once again on Indigenous Sovereignty as the themes are etched deeply throughout Systemic’s nine tracks. (Read our review here.)
In conjunction with the release of Systemic, Divide and Dissolve have released three videos for album tracks, Want, Indignation and Blood Quantum.
