Ahead of their performance as part of Sydney's Vivid Festival, we spoke to multi-instrumentalist Takiaya Reed - she’s one half of doom metal band Divide and Dissolve. The band have long held a politic of destroying and dismantling the colonial state, creating sounds that reverberate with this power and spirit. Sara chatted to Takiaya about all this, the depths of their friendship and love for one another, and how this shaped their sound. 

Divide and Dissolve will be performing at Carriageworks for Vivid Sydney on Friday June 3rd 6:30pm. You can get tickets and details here. 

This episode was hosted by Darren Lesaguis and Sara Khan with special guest Takiaya Reed. It was produced and edited by Shareeka Helaluddin. Cover image: a photo of Divide and Dissolve by Su Cassiano.
