In 1990 Neil Hannon started recording and releasing under the name 'The Divine Comedy'. Thirty years and twelve great albums later, Hannon is
rightly adjudged one of the finest singer songwriters of his generation . To celebrate, Divine Comedy Records are remastering and reissuing nine of the band's classic albums.
The reissues are released by Neil Hannon’s own label Divine Comedy Records on August 21st 2020.
'Promenade', originally released in 1994, loosely recounts a day in the life of a pair of friends / siblings / lovers. It was an immediate hit with the critics and catapulted Neil to early notoriety in France. The Melody Maker said "’Promenade’ is music hall, cool French films, late nights in a bygone city, sea-shanties swelled by alcohol.. ‘Promenade’ walks the path of indulgence with bravado and a mischievous grin. A stolen masterpiece." Q picked it as one of its best albums of ’94 and described it as "One of the most unexpected and original treasures of the year." Reviewing for Select, Stuart Maconie said "’Promenade’ is a masterpiece. If you do one brave and imaginative thing this month, be on the side of the angels and buy this record." Stand out tracks include Don't Look Down, The Summerhouse and Tonight We Fly, the song with which, to this day, the band close every live set.
The album has been remastered from the original tapes at the legendary Abbey Road Studios by mastering engineer Frank Arkwright (Blur, The Smiths.) Overseeing the audio throughout the campaign is engineer/mixer/producer Guy Massey, whose work on the Beatles Stereo Remasters won him a Grammy Award.
