We certainly aren’t rooting for anyone to be unlucky in love, but it’s hard to argue that heartbreak doesn’t have its place in the musical cannon. Sondre Lerche’s new single “Bad Law” was inspired by his recent divorce, and it plays like someone on the mend—his trademark bouncy pop interspersed with moments of spiky noise. It’s some good, seriously cathartic fun.

“Bad Law' came charged with this urge to play a simple song that would allow people (and myself, I suppose) to ventilate anger and frustration, to get happy, dance like idiots and ultimately feel a little better, despite everything going to shit,” Lerche told Spin of the track.

Take a listen below. Lerche’s new album Please is due out later this year on his own Mona Records imprint.

3. Legends

4. At Times We Live Alone
