Divorce will release their debut album next spring.
The buzzy Nottingham newcomers will drop 'Drive To Goldenhammer' on March 7 via Gravity/Capitol Records. It was recorded with producer Catherine Marks at Real World Studios in Wiltshire. The band said:
"We’re very proud of 'Drive To Goldenhammer'. We got to make an album the way we wanted to, kept the weird parts in, followed the warmth and didn’t overthink it. This album pays homage to seeking place and home; one of the great human levellers. Much of life feels at odds with this particular need. And to Goldenhammer; you are a reason to keep driving. We will find you again and again!"
The record features 12 songs, including the new single All My Freaks, which exists somewhere between indie, folk and country. Guided by warm, harmonious vocals from singer-bassist Tiger Cohen-Towell and singer-guitarist Felix Mackenzie-Barrow, it arrives with a music video. Cohen-Towell said:
"Being a musician can be brutal. I feel like you hear more and more songs coming from artists purely about the trials and tribulations of being a musician, feeling like you aren’t getting enough, or feeling like you’ve got too much and you don’t deserve it. It’s gotten a bit meta if you think about it. All My Freaks is about that too, written from the perspective of a humorous/tragic caricature of an up-and-coming artist, this song is laughing at our own egos and yet acknowledging the power that they wield. Putting this out as the first offering from our debut album felt fitting, as we are hypothetically straddling our jet skis and crossing the ocean of delusion to hopefully reach the isle of public approval."
In 2023, the four-piece released their second EP, 'Heady Metal', before packing 2024 with festival slots and tour dates with Bombay Bicycle Club, The Vaccines and Everything Everything.
They'll play a sold-out four-night hometown residency at Bodega this week, ahead of a UK tour in October, which wraps up with their biggest headline show to date at London’s Islington Assembly Hall. Tickets are on sale now.
