Divorce have shared their new sing ‘Pill’.
The band’s gentle rise has been driven by terrific songwriting, and their eagerly-awaited debut album ‘Drive To Goldenhammer’ will land on March 7th.
New song ‘Pill’ represents an awakening of sorts, stretching their alt-country wash over five minutes of sensual sound. A song of queer lust and sexual awakening, it was actually penned in Glasgow – a city that plays a key role in Tiger Cohen-Towell’s life.
The gentle yet overpowering song is slyly subversive, the playful edge adding to the precocious pleasures at play in Divorce.
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!
