UK band DIVORCE are back with new single “Pill, the track is off their forthcoming debut album Drive to Goldenhammer, available March 7th via Gravity/Capitol. The track follows previous singles “All My Freaks.”

Commenting on the new single, co-vocalist and guitarist Tiger Cohen-Towell says::

“‘Pill’ was written on not my piano at not my flat in not my city; Glasgow to be specific. It’s about sexual awakenings and the absolute thrill of feeling seen properly. It’s also about a long-term long-distance relationship that turned my life upside down (and continues to), and my relationship with a new place alongside that. It’s one of the queerest songs on the record, all three sections highlight a different realm of my queer experience. It’s also potentially the most unconventionally arranged song on the record and making it was a very playful and light-hearted process. From the get-go I wanted it to have three very different sections in this song, the rest of the band trusted that instinct and we all threw ourselves into making it work, so it was nice to feel professionally seen whilst making a song about feeling personally seen!”

Drive to Goldenhammer was written and demoed across four recording stays at rural North Yorkshire outpost The Calm Farm. Sessions spanned the spring, summer, autumn and winter – the band writing night and day – before the completed songs were brought to life with producer Catherine Marks (boygenius, Foals, Wolf Alice) at Real World Studios.

Divorce met as teenagers through the city’s close-knit DIY scene, the band – completed by members Tiger Cohen-Towell (vocals / bass), Felix Mackenzie-Barrow (vocals / guitar), Adam Peter Smith (guitar / synth) and Kasper Sandstrøm (drums) – the band came together as Divorce in mid-2021, releasing a slew of singles. Last year they signed to Gravity Records (Universal Music) for their Heady Metal EP, before playing a number of festivals and tours with Bombay Bicycle Club, The Vaccines and Everything Everything.
