High Divide serenade global climate change deniers on "When the World Ends"

 

"no more look for rational debate"

After record setting snow fall blanketed Texas contributing to a huge power outage causing primates at an animal sanctuary to freeze to death in their cages and humans not equipped to deal with the extreme cold to die in their cars, bedrooms and backyards, the track "When the World Ends" by Seattle based High Divide seemed rather appropriate. And, believe me, I know this is a dark way to start a track review but political art has a way of sparking one's conscious and setting off alarm bells when they need to be heard.

"When the World Ends" is about the effects of global climate change deniers and how their pursuits of financial gains over the health of the planet will screw us all in the end.

The thing is, High Divide ties a pretty musical bow around the serious message. The aesthetic feels real and rootsy like late 70's garden rock with sinewy folk roots with lovely harmonies. To me, their are bits of Laurel Canyon rock, full suited northern California surf vibes and a sense of tie dye hippie lineage.

High Divide's sophomore album is in the works and I look forward to diving in.
