Divorce is a Nottingham-based quartet that has rapidly become a central figure in the UK's 'new weird Americana' scene. Formed by Tiger Cohen-Towell and Felix Mackenzie-Barrow, the band's identity is built upon their dual-vocal chemistry, which often utilizes theatrical phrasing and intricate harmonies.
While their roots are firmly planted in indie rock, they incorporate significant elements of alt-country, grunge, and art-pop. Their career arc has seen them evolve from the raw energy of the 'Get Mean' EP to the more expansive and polished songwriting found on their 2025 debut LP, 'Drive to Goldenhammer'. Critically, they are praised for their lyrical depth, often tackling themes of identity, regional boredom, and the complexities of human relationships with a mix of sincerity and dark humor. They occupy a unique cultural space, bridging the gap between the post-punk revival and the growing popularity of folk-adjacent indie music in the UK. Their influence web includes the narrative precision of Mitski and the rugged textures of Wilco, positioning them as a more melodic and character-driven alternative to their noise-rock contemporaries.
