DIVORCE O CALAMITY

‘O Calamity’ is the new single from Nottingham quartet Divorce. It’s an emotive, compassionate track that blends a selection of acoustic instruments into a hazy accompaniment for co-vocalist Tiger Cohen-Towell’s voice. “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,” says Cohen-Towell. “Felix and I were performing under a different alias then, so we finished and arranged it together. 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.” The band’s debut album, Drive to Goldenhammer, is out now via Gravity / Capitol. -Dan Peeke
