The Divine Comedy is the art-pop project of Northern Irish singer-songwriter Neil Hannon, known for his literate, witty, and often melancholic orchestral arrangements. At the time of "Rainy Sunday Afternoon," Hannon was exploring a more stripped-back, piano-centric sound, a departure from the elaborate productions of his earlier work.
