Divorce have shared new single ‘Hangman’, the final track to be taken from their forthcoming debut album ‘Drive to Goldenhammer’, set for release on 7th March via Gravity/Capitol.
The new track follows previous singles ‘All My Freaks’ and ‘Antarctica’ – both of which reached the A-list on BBC 6 Music – and January’s ‘Pill’. The song focuses on themes of being present and supporting others.
“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,” says co-vocalist and guitarist Felix Mackenzie-Barrow. “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.”
