Description
NIGHT SCHOOL are proud to present the debut full-length album by Glasgow Divorce. Divorce is the culmination of four years of uncompromising noise-rock brutality. Having set their own standard with a brace of 7s, EPs and split singles, released on a plethora of renowned labels like Optimo Music, Merok, Milk, Winning Sperm Party, Night School and Gravy as well as extensively touring the UK and Europe Divorce have channeled themselves anew into a miasma of hate and power that is their debut album. Since their formation in 2008 they have progressed from no wave dirge practitioners to an unique cult that blurs the boundaries of what punk, noise-rock or metal are presumed to sound like. Remaining slippery in definition but relentlessly focused, Divorce have evolved into a singular, incomparable unit.
Recorded by Ali Walker at Glasgows Arc Studio & Devils Own Studio, Divorce finds the band pushing their furious sound further than ever before; a torrent of pummeling rhythms and serrated, overdriven riffs, extended freak outs and ecstatic push and pull dynamics. They have also explored their experimental tendencies more, incorporating power-electronics, white noise and, on the track Stabby (Stabby) Stab, free-jazz saxophone (courtesy of guest musician James Swinburne). All this, combined with an over-arching determination to take their music to new limits structurally and sonically, makes Divorce a unified audio experience. Divorce are Jennie Fulk (vocals), Vickie McDonald (guitars), VSO (bass) and Andy Brown (drums). The album will be available on vinyl from 17th September. Screen-printed 3 colour sleeves (made by the band), inserts and download code POSTCARD. 1000 12 vinyl run, 500xgreen & 500xpurple. The band will be playing a select series of UK shows in September in the run up to the albums release:
Fantastic blast of no wave thrash bashing like ungodly offspring sprung from Cuntzillas incubator. A bloody smear of nasty mutation oozing a sickly runoff of infectious virulence. Naughty little bastards. LYDIA LUNCH
Guitars and drums that work like whirring machinery, grinding gears and pumping pistons deep inside of some infernal machine. Imagine if a band like Aids Wolf got really excited about the Motorhead back catalogue CVLT NATION
No-one sounds quite like these Scots berserkers, they literally slay every venue they play in and are widely regarded as one of the absolute premier underground UK bands right now. NORMAN RECORDS
