Divorce have returned with their new single ‘Gears’, alongside news of their biggest UK headline shows to date – read on for all the details.
‘Gears’ is the Nottingham band’s first new material of 2024, a track that mutates from a textured, introspective indie slow-burner into a frayed, manic rocker.
Speaking about the song, frontman Felix Mackenzie-Barrow has said: “’Gears’ was written when I’d just moved to London and was working very long hours whilst trying to keep up with increasing band commitments for Divorce.”
“I was spending all of my time working or playing shows and couldn’t maintain any kind of social life or keep up with the spending a social life felt like it would cost. The song came out of those frustrations.”
