Divisible: Less Than Lion

Divisible
Less Than Lion
Self-Released

LA’s Divisible are an indie rock duo comprised of drummer Albert Sadia and a lead singer known simply as “Shola.” Their debut album, Less Than Lion, is a great group of light songs loosely based around Shola’s experience of journeying to Ghana to reunite with her father. This concept provides an interesting dimension to the record, yet the songs’ themes about love, death and abandonment remain universal. Musically, Divisible’s compositions are accessible and catchy, simple guitar melodies accented by richly layered backing vocals and synthesizer effects. “Big Machines” has some nice guitar work laid over a driving beat and thought-provoking lyrics discussing death and our reactions to it. “Big machines, they think they’re so powerful, but they couldn’t bring her back again. Now isn‘t that beautiful?” “Everybody” is another standout track featuring African-style percussion. Good stuff.
