(( UPCOMING ON DIVORCE IN FALL 2012 ))
YOU'LL NEVER GET TO HEAVEN - YOU'LL NEVER GET TO HEAVEN LP/DL
You'll Never Get to Heaven is the stunning new ambient, electronic pop project by partners Chuck Blazevic and Alice Hansen. Chuck has been creating abstract electronic music for years, so it is no surprise to hear such beautiful washes of tone and melody on this new album. Most of the source material is taken from early 20th Century classical and 70s dub vinyl, with decades worth of scratches and dirt beautifully processed into flourishes of swirling texture. Alice's delicate vocals emerge from this ambient fog to guide these tracks through a dream of pop music long forgotten here at DIVORCE. This is a stirring record. We couldn't be more pleased to offer it up this fall.

J FM - SMOULDER LP/DL
J FM is the pounding, junk-sound work of Toronto's Jesse Frank Matthews. Jesse is a musical dumpster diver, collecting odd bits of nostalgia and reforming them into mind-frying jams. His music is beat heavy, abstract, and, in the the case of Smoulder, quite dark. Just recently, a piece of this music was featured on a loop at a new, state of the art mental hosptial deep in Ontario. One listen, and you'll see why. Hold on to your... brain.
