Le Divorce

Breaking up is hard to do, and perhaps that explains the underlying angst in the music of Le Divorce. That, or maybe it’s the band’s unapologetic love of ’90s alt-rock, which you can hear in its moody, distorted tunes that nod to grunge, classic indie rock, and shoegaze without ever going full retro. Regardless of where that moody edge comes from, it drives Le Divorce, but don’t make the mistake of assuming this is another band heavy on atmosphere and light on songcraft—the tunes are more than capable of delivering on the promise of the band’s sound.
