For Nottingham quartet Divorce, home is a feeling. The band, made up of Tiger Cohen-Towell (vocals / bass), Felix Mackenzie-Barrow (vocals / guitar), Adam Peter Smith (guitar &amp; synth) and Kasper Sandstrøm (drums), has spent much of their lifespan on the road. They met as teenagers through the city’s close-knit DIY scene but came together as Divorce in mid-2021, releasing a slew of genre-defiant singles that quickly caught the attention of Hand In Hive (TV Priest, Tancred, Wyldest). The years since have been breathless. In 2023 they signed to Gravity Records (Universal Music) for their acclaimed Heady Metal EP and sold out their first UK headline run off the back of it. Their 2024 schedule was filled with a raft of international festivals, a SXSW showcase, tours with Bombay Bicycle Club, The Vaccines and Everything Everything, rounding off with their biggest headline show to date at London’s Islington Assembly Hall. It wasn’t until they came to demo their debut album, Drive to Goldenhammer, that they finally had the breathing space to sit down as a band, as friends, and block out the rest of the world. “Everything up until that point, as wonderful and surprising and fulfilling as it had been, felt like we were being dragged through a hedge backwards – in a nice way!” says Tiger. The result is a pastoral blend of country, folk and chamber pop that traces the upheaval of the last few years while planting roots in their own sound. “When your life is transient and always moving, you look for that kind of solace in the songs that you write, because that's all you've got that stays constant,” Felix explains. Sonically rich and lyrically open-hearted, Drive to Goldenhammer sees Divorce assemble a shelter for themselves amid the chaos and leave the front door open to everyone.
