Visitation

VINYL FORMAT. The much anticipated sophomore album, Visitation, from Division Day. Recorded in Los Angeles with producer Justin Meldal Johnsen (NIN/Beck/Gnarls Barkley) and mixed by Todd Burke (Ben Harper/The Rumble Strips/Idlewild), Visitation finds the band steering confidently into darker territory, marrying synthetic and organic textures in songs about death, transformation, and the devil.

Visitation is the complete opposite of Division Day's debut, Beartrap Island, which was recorded completely in analog. Sure, the guys captured initial sounds and beats with traditional instruments, but they also added a layer of technology, processing the guitars, making a single keyboard sound out many things, and essentially tweaking it all so everything's not so readily-discernible. It all works to retain the interest of the listener upon multiple plays.
