When Michael Bay asked us to contribute music to the newest Transformers movie, we were honored. We felt "What I've Done" worked great in the first film, and were eager to provide another song that captured the essence of robots-destroying-other-robots energy. Our only problem: that song didn't exist.
So over the next seven weeks, we set out on a rather ambitious adventure--to create from scratch a piece of music that would represent not only the band, but a multi-bajillion dollar, worldwide movie franchise. And it wasn't easy. Though the bones of this particular track materialized swiftly, the devil is almost always in the details.
At the end of the process, and through an amazing amount of teamwork, we completed our journey. The result is four-and-a-half minutes of sonic storytelling--one part classic LP, two parts electro exuberance, and one part mechanical mayhem. We simply call it "New Divide."
Hope you enjoy.
