New Divine Comedy album "Victory For The Comic Muse" to be released June 19

I was a huge DC fan throughout the 90s but I thought Fin de Siecle was a big disappointment. Things looked up for a while with Regeneration (a much underrated album) but I thought Absent Friends was awful and I stopped following him at that point. Sounds like I should seek out "Lady of a Certain Age" though.

I'm a big fan of everything they did from Liberation to Absent Friends but then apart from the odd moment he seemed to run out of steam.

I do really like Down In The Street Below goodoldneon but apart from that not much else. I was heartbroken the first time I ever heard Indie Disco.

New album, _Office Politics_, comes out June 7th. Pre-order bonuses at the TDC site.

Missed out on the recent live album, _Loose Canon_, so ordered that today, too.

His last cd, "How Can You Leave Me on My Own" didn't do much for me as a first single, but hearing it and "To the Rescue" on a Jools Holland rerun yesterday, I'll revisit that disc. "To the Rescue" really jumped out as fantastic.

He averages one decent gravitas-laden track per album these days, To the Rescue was it for the last album. The new single is not it.
