Loyal Divide formed in Columbus, Ohio. They now live in Chicago. They have recently released an EP entitled Labrador, and will release their full-length debut album in September of 2010.

Loyal Divide’s “Labrador EP” is filled with layers of quirky electronic bits, which are paired nicely with soft and admissible vocals, and then crunched together by industrial drum programming. There’s plenty of gated-synth action, reminiscent of Animal Collective’s trance-inducing polyrhythmic backbone. You can hear this in “Vision Vision,” as they bump to a two-steppin’ hip-hop beat that has roots in early 2000′s club jams.”
