DIVORCE have shared new single Antarctica<\/em>. It is the latest new music to be lifted from the band’s forthcoming debut album \u2018Drive to Goldenhammer,\u2019 which arrives on March 7th 2025 via Gravity \/ Capitol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Released on the heels of radiant lead single All My Freaks<\/a><\/em>, ‘Antarctica’ is a wash of quiet yearning that wrangles breezy guitar interplay and vivid lyricism to poignantly capture the sometimes fleeting nature of love, loss, and life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It comes as the band caps a flurry of fruitful Autumnal activity, including four sold-out hometown residency shows at Nottingham’s Bodega, their biggest ever sold-out headline show at London’s Islington Assembly Hall, plus a much-talked-about performance at Pitchfork Music Festival Paris last week. The band were also recently announced among the first wave of artists to open for The Maccabees at next year’s All Points East festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commenting on the new single, co-vocalist and guitarist Felix Mackenzie-Barrow says: “I wrote ‘Antarctica’ at the end of a long and deeply important relationship as a way to self-soothe and make sense of the loss I was feeling whilst touring non-stop. Thinking of the silent indifference of that vast continent at the bottom of the world was and still is something of a meditation for me. Barry Lopez describes Antarctica as \u201cutterly remote, even as you stand in it. The light itself is aloof.\u201d

The song also recounts an event that Tiger and I experienced, encountering a newborn calf in the middle of the road on a late night drive. It felt urgent; the calf\u2019s defenceless was impossible to ignore and we carried it back into the farm. There was a choice there. Did we rescue it from the road where it could have been hit by a human in a car or did we just send it back to be killed by a different human further down the line?

Neither option feels good or makes any sense to me, but the feeling of its fur covered in afterbirth and the desperate cries of its mother is something I will never forget.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
