Sparse to the point of flirting with silence, or plodding on top of groove-less drums, all Center Divider’s songs have a very distinct signature in their pace. When in this sonic scenario the band introduces simple string or brass drones, or slow plucked parts, magic happens – see the song “Madam S”. The lead singer’s dark vocals, reminiscent of Leonard Cohen and Morphine, are full of confidence and drowned in feelings (that perfectly suit the music) like acceptance and moderate hope. The band is scheduled to play the Tuesday 19 Deli CMJ party upstairs at The Delancey with Waking Lights, Mama Bear and Pearl and the Beard among others.
