Divorce have shared new single ‘Pill’, the latest track to be taken from their forthcoming debut album ‘Drive to Goldenhammer’. The track follows previous singles ‘All My Freaks’ and ‘Antarctica’, due 7th March.
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!”
The album was written and demoed across four seasonal recording sessions at The Calm Farm in North Yorkshire, before being recorded with producer Catherine Marks at Real World Studios.
