Divorce make a striking return this week with O Calamity, their first new release since March’s acclaimed debut album Drive to Goldenhammer. The single sees the band refine their signature sound, weaving delicate guitar lines into a slow-burning, richly layered track that highlights their growing melodic depth. Commenting on the new single, co-vocalist and guitarist Tiger Cohen-Towell says: "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. 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."
