divorce: s/t

Night School is proud to present the debut full-length by DIVORCE—a culmination of four years of uncompromising sonic brutality channeled into a miasma of hate and power. Since their formation in 2008, the Glasgow band has evolved from no wave dirge practitioners into a unique cult that blurs the boundaries of punk, noise rock and metal. Slippery in definition but relentlessly focused, they’ve set their own standard with a brace of 7-inches, EPs and split singles, released on a plethora of renowned labels like Optimo Music, Merok, Milk, Winning Sperm Party and Gravy—as well as extensively touring the UK and Europe. Recorded by ALI WALKER at Glasgow’s Arc Studio & Devil’s Own Studio, Divorce finds the band pushing their furious sound further than ever before, unleashing a torrent of pummeling rhythms; serrated, overdriven riffs; extended freak-outs and ecstatic, push-and-pull dynamics. They also continue to explore their experimental tendencies, 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.
