Ahead of their hometown 4 night sold-out residency and full UK tour, Nottingham's Divorce are today pleased to share details of their highly anticipated debut album Drive to Goldenhammer, alongside its lead single ‘All My Freaks’. "Being a musician can be brutal" shares vocalist Tiger Cohen-Towell. "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." With their unique sound and exhilarating live performances, Divorce burst on to the scene with a refreshing aura, and this latest effort offers up a brilliant teaser to what lays ahead as its towering pop sensibilities and explosive melodies beg to be played again and again. Continuing about the album, the band says: "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!". Take a listen to All My Freaks below. 'Drive to Goldenhammer' will be released March 7 via Gravity / Capitol.
