Divided Heaven
Cold War
Cold War is the 3rd full-length from Los Angeles-based indie/punk band, DIVIDED HEAVEN. Fronted by singer-songwriter, Jeff Berman, DIVIDED HEAVEN once again worked with Grammy-nominated producer, Charlie Stavish, to craft Cold War, an album that hits hard; musically, lyrically and emotionally and sets DIVIDED HEAVEN apart from many of their peers. Contemplative, heartbreaking, raw and ambitious; Cold War captures Berman's life in the realm of wild coexistence, a reconciliation attempt with the better angels of his personal and our collective nature. The 13 tracks on Cold War showcase Berman's songwriting at its finest and most poetic. The lead single '1983', the hauntingly desperate 'Love Letter To New York' and the powerful #MeToo anthem 'The Daughters & The Sons' are the strongest and infectiously catchy full-band songs in the DIVIDED HEAVEN canon. Juxtaposed, the subdued tracks, 'Maeby, We Should Say Goodbye' and 'Dance With Old Habits' are the darkest, most sorrowful and vulnerable of his career; speaking to mourning, separation, depression, anxiety and addiction. The album's sonic landscape is much different from previous releases as well; recorded to two-inch tape at Charlie Stavish's Clock Tower Recording studio in Joshua Tree, California and mixed to the board, dripping in a plethora of analog effects.
