Youngblood, the second Divided Heaven full length, marks an arrival. What started as a solo project for Jeff Berman while studying in Europe ten years, tens of thousands of miles, and many sing-alongs ago has come to fruition, both for Berman and his loyal fans. This sophomore effort, produced by Charlie Stavish (Imagine Dragons, Ryan Adams) showcases a resounding progression in style and dynamic that introduces, for the first time, Divided Heaven as a full band.
Make no mistake; Berman and his guitar are still at the forefront and the songs are as honest as their singer. The title track, 'Gin', and 'Mass Ave' maintain the intimacy and thoughtful lyrics that one has come to expect in a DH song. Tracks such as 'The Worst', 'Safety-Pinned Heart' and the first single 'Melissa Militia' (produced by Stephen Egerton from ALL/Descendents) bring the new and exciting dynamic of the full band to life.
