Divorce Releases New Song “Pill”
British alt-country band Divorce, consisting of Tiger Cohen-Towell (vocals/bass), Felix Mackenzie-Barrow (vocals/guitar), Adam Peter Smith (guitar/synth) and Kasper Sandstrøm (drums), released the third single called “Pill” from their upcoming debut album “Drive to Goldenhammer” on January 9, 2025.
The album is set to be released on March 7, 2025 via Gravity Records and Capitol Records.
The song was written in Glasgow and is about queer lust and sexual awakening.
It was written by Adam Peter Smith, Felix Mackenzie-Barrow, Kasper Sandstrøm, and Tiger Cohen-Towell. Produced by Catherine Marks.
The band bassist and vocalist Tiger Cohen-Towell said of the song, “'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.”- They continued, “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!”

The album comprises 12 songs, which the band recorded at The Calm Farm in North Yorkshire, and then with producer Catherine Marks at Real World Studios.
The band said of the album, “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!” - source : Apple Music
