The Divine Comedy return in September with their 11th studio album Foreverland. Neil Hannon (who really IS The Divine Comedy) describes the new record thus: “It’s about meeting your soul mate and living happily ever after… and then what comes after happily ever after. Get ready for the most historically inaccurate hit of the summer”. Like 2010’s Bang There Goes The Knighthood, the 12-track Foreverland is issued on Divine Comedy Records. A two-disc deluxe edition comes with a bonus CD featuring a studio recording of In May, Neil Hannon and Frank Alva Buecheler’s acclaimed chamber opera, which explores the relationship between a dying son and his absent father through a series of letters. This is sung by Neil Hannon, with string quintet and piano.
