'Rainy Sunday Afternoon' is the thirteenth studio album from The Divine Comedy, marking their first new studio release since 2019's UK top 5 album 'Office Politics'. Recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios, this introspective orchestral pop album channels Neil Hannon's reflective side, exploring themes of mortality, memory, relationships, and societal change. Hannon, who recently composed original songs for the Warner Bros blockbuster 'Wonka', describes this album as a necessary emotional outlet—'a representation of my personality' with a focus on its darker, more melancholic tones.

The Divine Comedy, led by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Neil Hannon, has been a defining voice in orchestral pop since the 1990s. Known for literate lyrics and lush arrangements, the band achieved critical and commercial success with albums like 'Casanova' and 'Fin de Siècle'. Hannon's recent work on the 'Wonka' film soundtrack brought his whimsical songwriting to a global audience, while 'Rainy Sunday Afternoon' returns him to more personal and contemplative terrain.
