Kunkel's most ambitious effort to date, "Hidden Memories" features songs ranging from dark and brooding to emotive and uplifting. Produced and recorded in Los Angeles, CA, the record starts and ends with bruising basslines, dance-infused drums, and decked out atmospheric vocals. "Hidden Memories" serves as an homage to the music that has inspired Kunkel for the past decade, including but not limited to Tears for Fears, Oasis, Underworld, New Order, Depeche Mode and countless others.
"I wanted Hidden Memories to be a blend of what I felt were the best parts of my early years as The New Division, a return to form of sorts," Kunkel says. "I picked up where I left off, back when I was listening to a lot of dance records ranging from progressive, trance, early new wave, and synthpop. The blend of all those sounds is what I envisioned for 'Hidden Memories" and I'm happy to say I think that was achieved.
Longtime collaborator and co-producer F.J. DeSanto (Trade Secrets), also assisted on the record, "F.J.'s been a part of each album since "Together We Shine," and has always been a guiding force for TND," Kunkel said. "I tend to lose focus quite easily. I generally like everything I end up writing, but he understands what works from an outsider's perspective which I think is crucial from an objective standpoint."

In early 2011, Kunkel felt they had 6 songs right and put out the highly acclaimed EP, The Rookie. It wasn't long after that he felt they had enough material for a full length, and in late 2011, The New Division released Shadows. This album generated a huge buzz. As more people put their ears to it, Shadows continued to climb up charts all across the US as well as internationally. Several music publications named the LP a top album of 2011.
Now in 2019, The New Division is gearing up to release its fourth LP, "Hidden Memories" - Kunkel's most ambitious effort to date. Featuring 10 tracks ranging from dark and brooding to emotive and uplifting, "Hidden Memories" was produced and recorded in Los Angeles, CA. Pulsating with bruising basslines, dance-infused drums, and decked out atmospheric vocals, "Hidden Memories" serves as an homage to the music that has inspired Kunkel for the past decade.
