Divorce return with standalone track, "O Calamity"

Divorce have returned with "O Calamity" marking the first new music since the release of their debut album, Drive to Goldenhammer.

"O Calamity was written 6 years ago, 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," co-vocalist and guitarist Tiger Cohen-Towell says, commenting on the new single.

"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; 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."

"O Calamity" follows a spring packed with sold out UK shows, including their biggest headline show at London's KOKO, in support of their debut album, Drive to Goldenhammer, plus extensive touring throughout Europe and run of shows across the US with Mumford & Sons.

"O Calamity" is out now via Gravity/Capitol.
