ATO Records joined forces with music supervisor Randall Poster to help to help curate and assemble Divided & United. “These songs are rendered in such a direct way that you think, ‘I understand what it felt like to be alive a hundred and fifty years ago,’” says Poster. Best-known for his work with director Wes Anderson on acclaimed feature films such as Moonrise Kingdom and Rushmore, as well as the HBO series Boardwalk Empire and recent compilations like Rave On Buddy Holly, Poster sees this project as nothing less than an emotional snapshot of one of our country’s most important historical moments. “You feel it. It’s so vivid. When I put these collections together, I assemble them like I do a movie soundtrack and feel like I’m telling a story. On this record, you get a sense of, ‘Oh my goodness, here’s the story of the Civil War.’”
