THE DIVINE COMEDY – Office Politics – 2LP – Vinyl

2LP - Vinyl Reissue

Office Politics is the twelfth studio album by Irish band The Divine Comedy, released on 7th June 2019. It is a concept album concerning the workplace and the ever-growing role machines play in it.

Office Politics is a 16 track tour de force full of inventive, timeless music peopled with a typically irreverent cast of characters. “It has synthesizers. And songs about synthesizers,” Neil says. “But don’t panic. It also has guitars, orchestras, accordions, and songs about love and greed.” But ‘Office Politics’ central characters are the machines. Or ‘Infernal Machines’ as one track rages.
