Divorce share tender archive cut ‘O Calamity’ 

Nottingham quartet Divorce have followed up the release of their acclaimed debut album ‘Drive To Goldenhammer’ - which arrived a few months ago via Gravity/Capitol - with ‘O Calamity’, a new track which is, in fact, quite old. 

“‘O Calamity’ was written 6 years ago,” co-vocalist and guitarist Tiger Cohen-Towell has shared. “I recall the vocals for the first verse and chorus came into my head during a shift at the bar I was working at, a pretty standard way that songwriting starts for me even still. Felix and I were performing under a different alias then, so we finished and arranged it together.”

On why now felt like the right time to share the delicate number with the world, they continue: “We always thought it was a beautiful song and kept it in our pile of material, but didn’t include it on the album simply because of how long ago it had been written. This feels like a good time to stop hanging onto it, so here it is; a snapshot of our past written by the two of us, scarcely more than teenagers at the point of creation. It feels like an absolute world away, but good songs never get old.”
