sPIRAL DESCENT
"Spiral Descent," the latest single from The New Division, signals a transformative shift into electronica and dance music territory. Crafted meticulously with analog hardware and vintage synthesizers, the track combines lush textures, vibrant rhythms, and warm electronic layers, clearly marking a new chapter for the band.
Reflecting on this artistic evolution, producer and lead singer John Kunkel shares:
"I've been writing as The New Division for 20 years. Eventually, staying in the same lane started feeling stale—each new track felt repetitive, uninspired, like I was trapped inside a sound I’d lost passion for. 'Spiral Descent' marks the moment I realized a drastic sonic shift was essential to keep this project alive."
He continues, "Ultimately, 'Spiral Descent' isn’t about anything other than my own mental shifts as an artist. People evolve; what inspired us a decade ago won’t necessarily resonate today. Embracing a new sound, while scary, has been incredibly rewarding and refreshing. I now enter the studio excited and unrestricted. Sure, some long-time fans might pass on this new direction, but it was either evolve or end The New Division completely."
