Systemic

by Divide and Dissolve

Ron Hogan This may be a weird take, but from the opening notes I got this sort of 1970s giallo vibe from the album, like it’s the soundtrack to an uncanny film that exists only in our imagination. That vibe waxes and wanes as the album continues, but it never completely disappears… and the unsettling feeling is why I dig it so much. Favorite track: Want.

Emily Violet An absolute must listen for doom metal aficionados, metalheads more generally, and, well, everyone. Fantastic stuff. Favorite track: Indignation.

Scott Spiers This is real Doom in many regards. Not that any other form or band isn't real, it's just that Divide and Dissolve has the uncomfortable ability to express themselves as indigenous people and write music that reflects what it feels like to be themselves. But that's when things get scary: they also write what it would be like if majority of populations had to experience any sense of objective, detached, universal justice.

about

Divide and Dissolve’s new album Systemic examines the systems that intrinsically bind us and calls for a system that facilitates life for everyone. It’s a message that fits with the band’s core intention: to make music that honours their ancestors and Indigenous land, to oppose white supremacy, and to work towards a future of Black and Indigenous liberation.
Like its predecessor Gas Lit, Systemic was produced by Ruban Neilson of Unknown Mortal Orchestra.
You can feel the deep intention in Divide and Dissolve’s music. Their dense sound is overwhelmingly heavy; a dissonant pounding of percussion, guitars, piano, synths and saxophone, interwoven with passages of orchestral beauty that give a feeling of respite. Systemic is a thick wash of sound, equal parts beauty and anguish and creates a wholly encompassing experience for even a casual listener.

May Our Chambers Be Full

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250

If you feel like mist that graciously draws edges silken, as bitter clouds burst in droplets – a burnt hand would warily seek their comforting warmth – to let you wash your shame in tears; luxuriously tonguing atonement&salt , then this is what I recommend to you. DNM von Siebenthal
