WITH "ESPIONAGE", DIVORCER GIVES THE GOODS
Wonky pop group tells all in upcoming vinyl debut
“Who am I?” they scream into a puddle.
In Divorcer’s vinyl debut, the group spit into their own reflection, stomp their rain boots into the mud, and break open their multitudes. With major synth, big guitar sound and pleasing vocal harmonies, Divorcer examines such topics as: the kafka-esque experience of carceral systems and the medical industrial complex, the feeling of absolute dread toward the state of the world, and the demons creeping inside each and every one of us.
The 7-inch is titled Espionage, poking fun at national security and facing the fact that collectively the group holds very little power beyond their ability to produce rock hits. Undoubtedly, there is an allure to lies, secrecy and the unknown, but mostly they are embracing the overt camp of spy aesthetic (think childhood cartoons, Y2K era Charlie’s Angels, Austin Powers, or Sex Girl Patrol.) In their latest heavy-hitting release, Divorcer is still making light of Earth’s grim corners, only this time they are donning pleather jumpsuits.

Opener absolutely rips. Falls into the ranks of tracks like “Dance” by ESG, “Eisbaer” by Grauzone, “Damaged Goods” by Gang of Four or like the album description says Kleenex. This is some really good stuff. Favorite song is the opener but dedicate “Blue” to my friend Blue who lost her life at 22, she would have loved this album. TheBloodofChrist
Funky speedy tunes that will put a large smile on your face and make you incontralably twitch until you start dancing/jumping around.
Very punky and rich vocal work, with a wide variety of expressions, from sweety warm tone to sour, almost mocking voice, with crystal clear, almost ethereal or childlike moments. Tarage
