Jun 7, 2019Office Politics is, as with most Divine Comedy releases, a record with its finger firmly on the pulse of this zeitgeist.
-
MojoJun 6, 2019It's wholly bewitching. [Jul 2019, p.90]
-
UncutJun 6, 2019A funny, peculiar, epic piece of pop minimalism that could be no-one else but Hannon. [Jul 2019, p.27]

Jun 10, 2019Though it could use some tightening—it is a double-album, after all—there’s a joke for everyone, and a very funny one at that.

Jun 14, 2019Both confounding and compelling, Office Politics, like much of Hannon's work, feels a bit like a magnificently rendered lark, but as per usual, it's hard not to admire the craftsmanship.

Jun 6, 2019With plenty to digest, there’s no lack of ideas, if maybe a lack of focus. Stripping this back to a leaner, focused synth set might have injected a bit more punch. That said, Office Politics finds the underrated genius as acerbic and creatively inspired as ever.
