Initially formed in regional Victoria, the idiosyncratic folk-rock group since writing their first EP have left high school and now call Naarm/Melbourne home. Influenced by the likes of Smog, The Clean and Crescent, the ever evolving lineup have spent the last 5 years refining their distinctive brand of jumble pop, landing somewhere between the rural landscapes and the discordant sounds of the city.
Informed by their regional background, the band explores the themes of isolation and the expanse of landscape as well as the discordant nature of city living on this new release, reflecting their experiences over the past few years. Partly recorded outdoors, ‘(i’m sure)’ is a tentative declaration of intent that they’ll find a way no matter the obstacle. Teetering towards falling apart and then exploding out in a cacophony of sound.
The Great Divides are forging their own path, while they aren’t sure what it is, they are sure that they’ll make it work in the end.
