Division Day Sign To Dangerbird, Set To Release Sophomore LP Visitation
Thursday June 11, 2009 - 8 months ago

We’re thrilled to announce the addition of Los Angeles quartet Division Day to our roster of artists. Division Day will see the release of their much-anticipated sophomore full-length, Visitation, on August 18. The album was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen (NIN/Beck/Gnarls Barkley) and mixed by Todd Burke (Ben Harper/The Rumble Strips/Idlewild). The follow up to 2007’s Beartrap Island, Visitation finds the band steering confidently into darker territory, marrying synthetic and organic textures in songs about death, transformation, and the devil.
Formed while still in school, the band self-released Beartrap Island in 2006. Division Day took to the road, touring the west coast relentlessly, making a splash at CMJ, where they caught the ears of The New York Times, leading to a commercial release the following year. Response to the record was tremendous, garnering excellent reviews, and nationwide tours. Some excellent words about Beartrap Island:
“Division Day turn their own sorrow into something worth celebrating.” – Pitchfork
“They call themselves freestyle / Hawaiian / shoegaze, which is kind of misleading. They should just call themselves “lovely” and be done with it” – NYLON
With renewed focus and excitement Division Day will return to the road upon the release of Visitation. Dates to be announced shortly.
