The wait is finally over. Nottingham’s Divorce have announced their debut album ‘Drive to Goldenhammer’, and lead single ‘All My Freaks’ signals this moment with a thrilling confidence.
Since their formation in 2021, the band has built a reputation for crafting irresistible anthems, and this track is no exception. With its bright riffs, radiant synths, and British irreverence, ‘All My Freaks’ feels like a song you already know the words to on the first listen—instantly catchy.
The song takes a witty, self-aware swipe at the ego-driven struggles of being a musician, especially from the perspective of an artist outside London’s usual spotlight. Tiger Cohen-Towell’s lyrics, full of humour and insight, explore the rollercoaster of public approval and the delusions of “making it,” while proudly embracing the band’s Midlands roots. It’s a refreshing, sharp commentary on the music industry, delivered with the warmth and authenticity that Divorce have made their signature.
As always, Divorce balance playfulness with emotional depth, and ‘All My Freaks’ is no different. The intertwined vocals of Cohen-Towell and Felix Mackenzie-Barrow pull you into a world that’s both personal and universal, their unique chemistry anchoring the track’s irresistible energy. With each release, Divorce seem to be reaching new heights, and this single only strengthens their growing legacy.
With ‘Drive to Goldenhammer‘ set for release in March 2025, Divorce are poised for even bigger things. If ‘All My Freaks’ is any indication, this album will be a bold, anthemic exploration of identity, home, and the messy, beautiful journey of being an artist.
