Divorce will celebrate the release of their debut album Drive to Goldenhammer with an instore date at Wax and Beans in Bury followed by a headline gig at Gorilla.
The Manchester headline gig is one of 10 UK and Ireland dates they will play.
They will also perform seven instore dates.
Divorce will release their debut album Drive to Goldenhammer on 7 March 2025. The album features the previously released singles All My Freaks, Antarctica and Pill alongside latest track Hangman.
Hangman marks the final track to be taken from the upcoming album. The track marks an emotional telling of being present, caring and supporting. Speaking about the track co-vocalist and guitarist Felix Mackenzie-Barrow said, “I wrote Hangman late one night, freezing in my mouldy bedroom after a long shift as a support worker; the job I was doing at the time. The lyrics and chords and structure came out complete in about twenty minutes, I had stolen Tiger’s Ominchord for it, which is not an instrument I would usually use for writing. The job I was doing necessitated a high level of emotional control, which was not something I had experienced before and so writing about the work and allowing my subconscious to flow freely helped me to gain some perspective. I listened to it on the way back to work the following morning over and over and I felt like I’d done a good one. I only worked in that job for about six months, but it was simultaneously the hardest and most rewarding work I’ve ever done. The admiration I have for the people I worked with and the people who choose that career is immense. The world of social care is hidden in a society that likes to pretend it doesn’t exist, but it is vital and deserves much more focus and investment than it currently receives.”
