Songs we love: Shady Cove – High Divide

Four hours south of Portland, Oregon, the Rogue River flows right through the center of a small municipality called Shady Cove. This is where songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Sarah Rose and Sarah Nienaber, formerly of Candace, recorded the track that would become the name of their new project Shady Cove; this is where, in an unassuming cabin, the two seasoned collaborators began exploring desire’s revolutionary potential and the nomadic impulses borne of creative restlessness and the claustrophobia of city life. 

We recommended music by Shady Cove in the past and their new single High Divide is just as good as the previous stuff. Excellent instrumentation, catchy melodies. I love how Shady Cove works with her voice, it’s almost like rapping, but not exactly… however, it’s really an entertaining and refreshing way of singing. I must also mention the fantastic video, which has beautiful locations and atmosphere. How I miss traveling across the US!
