Divorce's new single 'Antarctica' was inspired by a break-up and a cow

Divorce have dropped their new single 'Antarctica'.

It's the latest cut from the band's debut album 'Drive to Goldenhammer', due 7th March 2025 via Gravity/Capitol, following 'All My Freaks'.

The Nottingham four-piece – Tiger Cohen-Towell (vocals/bass), Felix Mackenzie-Barrow (vocals/guitar), Adam Peter Smith (guitar/synth) and Kasper Sandstrøm (drums) – recorded at The Calm Farm in North Yorkshire, and then with producer Catherine Marks at Real World Studios.

Co-vocalist and guitarist Felix explains: "I wrote 'Antarctica' at the end of a long and deeply important relationship as a way to self-soothe and make sense of the loss I was feeling whilst touring non-stop. Thinking of the silent indifference of that vast continent at the bottom of the world was and still is something of a meditation for me. Barry Lopez describes Antarctica as 'utterly remote, even as you stand in it. The light itself is aloof.'

"The song also recounts an event that Tiger and I experienced, encountering a newborn calf in the middle of the road on a late night drive. It felt urgent; the calf's defenceless was impossible to ignore and we carried it back into the farm. There was a choice there. Did we rescue it from the road where it could have been hit by a human in a car or did we just send it back to be killed by a different human further down the line?
