Divorce – Antarctica (ft. Marcus Mumford)

Divorce have shared a reworking of former single ‘Antarctica’, this time featuring the voice of Marcus Mumford. ‘Antarctica’ is the opening song on the band’s debut album Drive to Goldenhammer, released earlier this year.

It was while Divorce were touring through the US with Mumford & Sons this summer that they struck up a friendship, and Marcus Mumford fell for the song. They would eventually get together to perform the song, a clip of which was later posted on the band’s socials. Sensing that they had something special together, they needed to get a version recorded a properly released.

Co-vocalist and guitarist Felix Mackenzie-Barrow had previously said the song was written “as a way to self-soothe and make sense of the loss I was feeling, and also recounts an event that Tiger and I experienced, encountering a newborn calf in the middle of the road on a late night drive.”

This Is Pop? today’s song of the day is here for you.
