Divide and Dissolve, the multidimensional duo of Takiaya Reed and Sylvie Nehill, release their third album Gas Lit, produced by Ruban Neilson. Their instrumental music blends heavy, beautiful, and contemporary sounds using saxophone, guitar, drums, and live effects to convey powerful messages without words.
Tracks like “We Are Really Worried About You” and “Denial” combine crushing riffs and haunting sax to challenge white supremacist colonialism and advocate for indigenous sovereignty and liberation. Gas Lit resonates with themes of resistance, land, and water, drawing inspiration from Afro- and indigenous futurism.
