For me, I&#8217;m lucky to be in such an great band: Mark, Rob, Mike and I have fantastic synergy to explore new territory, yet also the intense (obsessive!) perseverance to &#8220;get it right&#8221;. Musicians always say a record is a labor of love &#8212; in this case, it&#8217;s really been true. We&#8217;ve put the very best of us into this recording, to create an interpersonal and cultural snapshot of blood, sweat, tears, late nights at the pub, the whole works &#8212; and we believe we&#8217;ve made something cool,<\/em>&#8221; says Divisionists&#8217; frontman\u00a0Brendan Quinn.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-24317\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Cover.jpg.png?resize=300%2C300\" alt=\"Divisionist Daybreak cover\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Cover.jpg.png?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Cover.jpg.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Cover.jpg.png?resize=144%2C144&amp;ssl=1 144w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Cover.jpg.png?w=425&amp;ssl=1 425w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>The forthcoming album is comprised of 12 tracks,\u00a0featuring guest appearances by saxophonist Brian Idd and vocals from both Gwen Knighton and Lisa Makros.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Daybreak&#8217; was recorded at Perry Vale Studios,\u00a0The Mill House, and Haiku Sound, where it was also mixed. Brendan Quinn produced the album with assistance from legendary psych producer\u00a0Sterling Roswell\u00a0a.k.a. ROSCO (Spaceman-3, The Darkside), and\u00a0Pat Collier (The Vibrators)\u00a0on board as tracking engineer. The album was mastered by veteran mastering engineer\u00a0Don Grossinger\u00a0(The Flaming Lips, Brian Wilson, Franz Ferdinand, The Rolling Stones, Annie Lennox, Sharon Jones And The Dap-Kings).<\/p>\n<p>Divisionists&#8217; music embraces psych rock, power pop, and reimagined traditional folk ballads, all with a loud and memorable rock influence. They&#8217;ve shared stages with Pete &#8220;Bassman&#8221; Bain (Spaceman-3, The Darkside), Alex Monk, and Swiss garage-psych pioneers Roy and the Devil&#8217;s Motorcycle, among others. Brendan toured live as a member of the Sterling Roswell Band for their album &#8216;The Call of The Cosmos,&#8217; including their headliner spot at Andrew Weatherall&#8217;s Convenanza Festival, and has performed with a wide range of artists, including members of Swervedriver, Acid Mothers Temple,\u00a0The Brian Jonestown Massacre, and The Perfect Disaster.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Among the many reasons I said yes when these nutcases begged me to rejoin and record an album is just how much fun I have as part of a rhythm section with Robert. As we&#8217;ve categorised it in the past, we just hold the ship steady while Mark and Brendan get all psychedelic over the top. It&#8217;s a blast,&#8221;<\/em> says\u00a0Mike Whitaker\u00a0(bass, piano, backing vocals).<\/p>\n<p>While the &#8216;Daybreak&#8217; LP will only be available via internet on March 17, you can pre-order the vinyl record now via\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/divisionists.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Divisionists&#8217; Bandcamp<\/a>.\u00a0Pressed on 180 gram orange vinyl, the record also includes a full-colour folded insert with artwork and lyrics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>London-based psych power pop outfit\u00a0Divisionists\u00a0have announced their debut\u00a0LP &#8216;Daybreak,&#8217; which will be released\u00a0digitally and on vinyl on March 17 via\u00a0Mount Watatic Records.
