The Divine Comedy - Rainy Sunday Afternoon
This product is available on pre order with a limited discounted price.
Recorded at Abbey Road last autumn, ‘Rainy Sunday Afternoon’ is The
Divine Comedy's thirteenth album and their first studio album since 2019's ‘Office Politics’.
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.“
