2020 celebrates the 30th anniversary of Neil Hannon’s The Divine Comedy, a three-decade period that has seen the band release 12 incredible albums. To mark the occasion, nine of the band’s classic back catalogue have been remastered from the original tapes at Abbey Road Studios and reissued on vinyl. Absent Friends is the eighth studio album from The Divine Comedy and was released in 2004. Frontman Neil Hannon described the record at the time as an album about the battle between personal freedom and the comfort of domesticity. The CD reissue edition includes a bonus disc of never-heard-before demos and alternative versions curated by Neil Hannon himself.
