Division Day are a fairly new band from Los Angeles and they are going to turn some heads with their debut full-length, Beartrap Island. The four-piece band plays a delicate mix of indie and post-rock music.

The songs on Beartrap Island fall someplace between the soft indie rock numbers that I would liken to Sunny Day Real Estate, the post-rock ambiance of Explosions in the Sky, and even dashes of the lush melodies of Minus the Bear at times. Basically, they play chilling rock tunes that will likely appear as background music on Grey's Anatomy.

Eenie Meenie Records has found a surprise number in Division Day and I am definitely excited to catch them live. The beauty and texture of their music is likely enhanced through their live show. Pick this up if you're looking for some music to relax to.
