Helmed by Black and Cherokee composer and multi-instrumentalist Takiaya Reed, Divide and Dissolve release their new album Insatiable this Friday, April 18 via Bella Union.
Takiaya lent vocals to the first ever D//D song on recent single “Grief” which showed her softer, contemplative side. Today’s new single “Withholding” puts the project’s rib-rattling doom metal depths on full display.
Withholding is about a place where change can be perceived. Where it is felt materially spiritually emotionally physically. It is about navigating the dynamics and tensions of push and pull – Takiaya Reed
The album title Insatiable, came to Takiaya in a dream. She had a vision of a better world, one that gelled seamlessly with the optimism of her take on heavy music: “I saw and have felt the impact of people committing great acts of harm, causing pain in a never ending cycle. I have also seen and felt the strength and power of people committing great acts of love,” she says. For Takiaya, this is what it means to be “insatiable”; it’s the way we choose either a path of destruction or one of compassion, and experience it to its fullest. “It’s an album about love, and it feels important to experience this, now more than ever.”
