Bloomington singer/songwriter Brett Conlin said a three-month isolation at home with his family last spring became the fodder for his just released acoustic EP The Great Divide.
He said the songs on the five-song album spoke to a nation at a loss for words during the events of 2020.
“Definitely the songs ‘All American Reality Show’ and ‘The Great Divide.’ Those were the two big ones I wrote last spring just sitting around. I was like, ‘I feel like I need to say something, I want to put it in a real good, intelligent song form instead of just another status … or another rant,’” said Conlin, explaining “All-American” is partly a fascination with the reality show president just voted out of office.
