About The Divine Comedy
The Divine Comedy is the recording vehicle for songwriter Neil Hannon's carefully arranged, often orchestral pop. Casanova brought a wider audience to a catalog that includes Something for the Weekend, National Express and Our Mutual Friend. Hannon's writing combines character-driven storytelling with detailed melodies, and albums such as A Short Album About Love, Absent Friends and Office Politics show its range. His work also extends into film, including songs for Wonka.
