Divine Schism are stoked to be working with Dog Chocolate to celebrate the release of their newest album So Inspired, So Done in! The record’s out on February 27th on the always brilliant Upset The Rhythm, and we’re celebrating with a launch show at the excellent Paper Dress Vintage in Hackney! And joining them will be The Plan, whose excellent album Mountain View came out on our own label last year and is an absolute cracker! And the utterly captivating drum duo Rattle will open the show!
For the uninitiated, Dog Chocolate sound like a crowded room but are actually four individuals from London. Abandoning notions of elegance, cred and professionalism they embrace the ramshackle, instant and fun, capturing a vivid spontaneity with their music.
After 7 strange years of relative silence, and 13 years of being a band, Dog Chocolate return in 2026 with ‘So Inspired, So Done In’. Their fourth record is their most focused, cohesive and song-y yet.
‘So Inspired, So Done In’ charts a long and confusing period in the band’s collective life, marked by major life changes, losses and shifts, colouring the band’s trademark frantic, daft and anxious energy with a contemplative glaze. Dog Chocolate continue to investigate their internal and external landscapes with playful curiosity, frustration, silliness and empathy.’
