Bio (Continued):
Less Than Lion is an album that tells this story through a creativity, intelligent and propulsive misture of indie rock, electronica, and world music sounds.
After meeting in downtown Los Angeles, Shola and Sadia set out to make songs that were moody, atmospheric, and accessible. Divisible recorded their first demo in the confines of their rehearsal room, and Bryan Cook (Gary Jules, Meiko, Inara George of The Bird & The Bee) volunteered to mix the record.
Divisible's debut release, The Alchemy EP, quickly garnered local attention from Filter Magazine, ABC Television, and LA's Indie 103.1. The band also gained international attention from Music Pool (Foo Fighters, Smashing Pumpkins) who invited the band to come to Germany for the renowned PopKomm Festival and showcase dates with Canadian band The Cliks.
Divisible returned to the states to work on their first full-length with producer Tommy Walter (Abandoned Pools, Eels). The record was mixed by Ryan Freeland (Aimee Mann, Moulin Rouge, Loudon Wainwright III) and mastered at Sound Bites Dog.
The finished album, Less Than Lion, is a blend of Peter Gabriel, PJ Harvey, and TV On The Radio - worldly, primal music that speaks to the band's African ancestry.
Press Quotes:
"Brain and body can both be enlightened at a Divisible show – their smart, complex and catchy little melodies will float around in your cortex, whispering of vintage memories and heartfelt longing for weeks." - LA Record
"Recently detonating its blend of heavy, Peter Gabriel’d atmosphere (don’t panic, hipsters—we’re talking about the kind used in Scorsese movies, not Vampire Weekend singles) and the aching, moody textures of Is This Desire?-era PJ Harvey within Web In Front’s inbox, the L.A.-based band Divisible’s debut album, Less Than Lion, has been tugging at our ears all weekend with its slowly-building, steadily addictive collusion of genres both eclectic and primal. It’s GOOD." - Web In Front
"Their first full-length album, Less Than Lion, deceptively defies classification, and doesn’t have a bad song on it. It’s got fascinating, intricate percussion (think Afro Beat/Vampire Weekend), laid back David Byrne-style vocals combined with Debbie Harry sex appeal, thoughtful lyrics and hooks that come almost entirely from Shola’s incredibly agile vocals...To sum up: Fantastic." - Berkeley Place
