Recorded at Abbey Road in autumn of 2024, Rainy Sunday Afternoon' nis The Divine Comedy's thirteenth album and their first studio album since 2019's Office Politics. The band's Neil Hannon most recently wrote the original songs for the Warner Bros blockbuster Wonka. Neil says: "My musical output is, for better or worse, a representation of my personality. A good chunk of that personality revels in the rumbumptious; celebrates the silly. And I made ample use of that for the Wonka songs. I have though, like everyone, a darker, more melancholy side. And for one reason or another it has been much in evidence of late. I needed to use this album as an outlet for those feelings. To work through some stuff. Mortality; memories; relationships; political and social upheaval. Everyone should get to make an orchestral pop album once in a while. It should be available on the NHS." One listen to Rainy Sunday Afternoon will certainly provide a tonic for these turbulent times. Two listens and you'll be addicted.
