Divorce are sharing new single “Gears”, their first music of 2024, which was produced by Catherine Marks (boygenius, Foals, Wolf Alice). The band have also announced today, news of their biggest UK headline show to date at London’s Islington Assembly Hall in October, and two very special hometown headline shows at Nottingham’s Bodega. Divorce have recently supported Bombay Bicycle Club and The Vaccines this year.

“”Gears” is about juggling identities and responsibilities, and the emotional cost of trying to be all things to all people. Fitting then that the song itself reveals two sides, initially all soft and melodic before transforming into something jittery and intense on top of which singer/guitarist Felix Mackenzie-Barrow contemplates I don’t remember when the gears got stuck”, while it surges to its dramatic crescendo. Of the new single, he offers: “Gears was written when I’d just moved to London and was working very long hours whilst trying to keep up with increasing band commitments for Divorce. I was spending all of my time working or playing shows and couldn’t maintain any kind of social life or keep up with the spending a social life felt like it would cost. The song came out of those frustrations.”
