Californian new-wave outfit The New Division have released brand new EP ‘Night Escape’ - and have made it available for streaming for free.
Anticipation for the EP was high before release, and it hasn’t disappointed their admirers. The LA quartet revealed title track ‘Night Escape’ (featuring Keep Shelly In Athens) with TLOBF to great acclaim, before unveiling ‘Kids’ via The Guardian last week. Both tracks have been studies in the expansive electronic which has become their calling, while displaying a noticeable growth from their earlier releases ‘The Rookie’ and more recently, ‘Shadows’.
Featuring the crushing synths and intricate arrangements that have seen this band develop a cult following, ‘Night Escape’ is the perfect EP to listen to during a late night, rain-soaked drive. Sparking images of glittering downtown LA during the 80's, The New Division craft expertly constructed walls of sound which close in on you with reckless abandon.
Spearheaded by John Kunkel ( vocals/producer) and amplified by Michael Janz (sequencing/synths) Mark Michalski ( synths) and Brock Woolsey ( guitar), The New Division are an LA based tour de force. While their influences can be traced back to the likes of Joy Division, New Order and Depeche Mode, their music manages to straddle the line between nostalgia and futuristic.
