The four-piece show the value that has gotten them attention through the echelons of the UK music industry.

‘Birds’ is another notch on Divorce’s ascending arrow, following the resoundingly commended 2022 EP ‘Get Mean’. Mixed by industry heavyweight Catherine Marks (Foals, Wolf Alice) and produced by Matt Peel (Kaiser Chiefs, Pulled Apart By Horses), the track heralds new horizons: the four-piece has just signed with EMI’s Gravity Records. It offers the same expert songwriting by Felix MacKenzie-Barrow and Tiger Cohen-Towell that made ‘Get Mean’ the GOAT.

The track is simultaneously clinical in its calculations and euphoric in its outbursts, confidently offering a tightly controlled, closely enunciated verse in the knowledge that just around the corner is a chorus as heroic and hooky as any that of any indie classic. To be enjoyed all summer on the band’s intrepid festival run starting with Bluedot and finishing with End of the Road.
