Noah Kahan — The Great Divide

Double LP on Indie Exclusive Cigarette Smoke Vinyl or Standard Rust Vinyl or CD The Great Divide, the fourth album from 2x Grammy nominee Noah Kahan, is a reflection on Kahan’s past, his now complicated relationship to family, friends and his native Vermont, as well as the disconnect and distance that silence and unspoken truths create between people. “From a long silence forms a divide, a great expanse demanding attention. I stare across it. I see old friends, my father, my mother, my siblings, my younger self, the great state of Vermont. I want to scream these feelings, to gesticulate wildly at the figures on the other side, but my voice has grown hoarse and muted after years of climbing a ladder towards the wild, spiraling dreams that have materialized in front of me. Instead, I wrote them down next to a piano in Nashville, next to a pond in Guilford Vermont, in a legendary studio in upstate New York, on a farm with a firetower in Only, Tennessee. The songs are the words I would say if I could. They are the fears I dance with in the moments before I drift off to sleep. The music here is my best attempt to delve deeper into the people, places, and feelings that have made me who I am. I am grateful for all of it, for all of you, for listening to them, if you choose to do so.” Released: 4/24/26
