'Rainy Sunday Afternoon', the thirteenth studio album from The Divine Comedy, marks the band's first new studio release since their 2019 UK top 5 album 'Office Politics'. Recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in autumn 2024, this orchestral pop album serves as a deeply personal exploration of mortality, memory, relationships, and societal change. Frontman Neil Hannon, known for his recent work composing original songs for the Warner Bros blockbuster 'Wonka', channels a more introspective and melancholic side in this reflective and richly arranged collection. Hannon describes the album as an emotional outlet, stating, 'Everyone should get to make an orchestral pop album once in a while. It should be available on the NHS.'
