Our Take

The Divine Comedy's album "Promenade" is a delightful romp through Neil Hannon's whimsical mind, filled with ornate melodies and clever wordplay. From the opening track "Bath" to the closing "Neptune's Daughter," Hannon takes us on a musical journey that is equal parts cheeky and charming.

Tracks like "The Summerhouse" and "A Drinking Song" showcase Hannon's love for storytelling and his ability to craft intricate narratives within the confines of a pop song. His distinctive baritone vocals are the perfect vehicle for delivering his witty lyrics, which often touch on themes of love, loss, and the absurdity of everyday life.

The orchestral arrangements on "Promenade" are lush and cinematic, adding a sense of grandeur to Hannon's already opulent compositions. The album is a testament to Hannon's versatility as a songwriter and his knack for blending genres with ease.

While some may find Hannon's theatricality a bit over the top, it's hard not to get swept up in the sheer joy and exuberance of "Promenade." This is an album that demands to be listened to from start to finish, allowing the listener to fully immerse themselves in Hannon's quirky world.

In conclusion, "Promenade" is a whimsical masterpiece that solidifies The Divine Comedy's reputation as one of the most inventive and unique bands in the British music scene. So grab your top hat and monocle, and embark on a musical adventure with Neil Hannon and company. It's a journey you won't soon forget.
