The Divine Comedy
Neil Hannon, a.k.a. the Divine Comedy, is the heir apparent to Scott Walker's neo-lounge throne. Hannon started his band in the early 1990s, releasing several albums of fairly ordinary guitar-pop, but by 1996's CASANOVA Hannon's aesthetic--swanky, orchestrated pop and cheeky, self-aggrandizing lyrics--was fully formed. Despite the less-than-stellar commercial potential of the music, Hannon stayed the course and continues to make oddly beautiful pop albums that are both ironic and strikingly poignant.
