“I see the character in the song ‘Division Street’ as being at a moment where life can go a couple different ways,” says Harper Simon of the title track from his narrative-driven new album. “I think these songs tend to be like a snapshot of a character at a pivotal moment. They could go this way or that way on the metaphorical Division Street: up or down, negative or positive, to the light or to self-destruction. “Or—like in the song ‘99’— they’re looking back at a moment they didn’t recognize as pivotal,” he says. “Because we rarely do.” A departure from his self-titled first record, Division Street features a sound that’s much more driven by electric guitars than his alt country-flavored debut
