For the past four years, Chicago’s Loyal Divide has been creating sounds that inspire more than just your average hipster head-bob. Whether it be supporting Crystal Castles & Chromeo or prepping a tranced-out crowd before Deadmau5, feet unanimously begin to shuffle. It’s their blend of familiar sounds that allow this quintet to straddle already blurred genre lines. From house beats and early 90s hip-hop jams to the darker, lo-fi productions reminiscent of Lee Scratch Perry and Can comes a sound that is both accessible and triumphantly original.

“If all things have a time and space, then Loyal Divide’s is in the air, probably above Turkey, when you’re taking the long way to Japan from Chicago, say around 1973.” - Fader

Bodice Ripper

Bodice Ripper is the debut full-length record from Chicago’s psych-rock outfitLoyal Divide. A beautifully eerie walk through this young band’s headspace of Blade Runner synths and haunting vocals, Bodice Ripper is an astonishingly mature first album.

MTV calls Bodice Ripper “Infectious”, and Filter Magazine says “this group draws their sound from a wide variety of influences ranging from experimental-electro to pure indie-rock.”

BODICE RIPPER IN STORES 10-4-11 ON BLUE VINYL W/ BONUS CD & DIGITAL
