- Los Angeles-based band Divisible mixes indie rock, electronica, and world music with such creativity and intelligence that it only makes sense that lead singer Shola is a Harvard graduate and drummer Albert Sadia is a poet and screenwriter. After meeting in downtown Los Angeles, the duo 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. Thematically, the songs explore singer Shola's relationship with her father, who lives in Ghana, West Africa. The result is intimate, emotional music with a pulsing drive.

Afro-punk is a platform for the other Black experience, the one we don't see in our media. D.I.Y (Do It Yourself) is the foundation.

There are a lot of sleepy, too-cool-for-school hipster bands, and the rap scene here is finally starting to wake up (ie: Nappy Roots, an upcoming group called Skyscraper Stereo).
There are a lot of kickass neuvo-southern-rock bands popping up (Think skinard meets muddy waters meets the Sex Pistols) but we're kind of doing something different
Our town has a lot of smaller music venues, but not really that much for after you can fill a bar. We don't get a lot of national rock acts coming through here at all. Like, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Gossip-- They're not gonna play here.
We're dance-pop-punk. High-energy stuff.
We'd play with you guys if you're considering coming here. I think that'd be a lot of fun and a very interesting/unique show. You should look up a group we're friends with called Lotus Blake. I think you guys would mesh well with what they have going on.
Hollar our way if you need anything else!

Pam, The singer.
