The Divine Comedy - Infernal Machines/You’ll Never Work In This Town Again

[@jamessayer913]

If there was ever a song that deserved a greater transcendence

[@Theory_B]

I’ve said it many times before, and will repeat it to anyone who cares to listen: Neil Hannon is a genius.

[@askingforthemoon]

It's a shame I discovered him completely accidentally. How come I have never heard of this man before

[@jespercervin9618]

No statement is more true.

[@jonmurray2350]

Your own personal genius.

[@godrilla5549]

I'm glad this exists on KZbin because I'm too drunk to put in the record

[@davidslowhand5172]

The animation 'Infernal Machines' is evocative of 1927's 'Metropolis' or Chaplin's 'Modern Times' factory sequence and 'You'll never Work In This Town' animation and music is like something from a sixties crime caper movie. All totally brilliantly put together.

[@WilliamBarker]

Mad Men.

[@simonidastankovic2627]

Exactly

[@jonjames7328]

Yes- in spades!

[@hawsrulebegin7768]

Someone mentioned Depeche but there’s also some yello in here somewhere. One of my favourite things about the Divine is the madness. You can’t beat talented madness.

[@godrilla5549]

I adore albums that tell a story

[@gruntherblendin388]

Beautifully foreboding Sword of Damocles at 4:08

[@miguelcesaroliveira3448]

The algorithm never got me here! someone told me now I am addicted to the Divine, that's a comedy in itself

[@surfertoday]

A stunning video clip. A work of art, both musically and graphically. Who would've thought that the world would become a strange and empty place?

[@medlog7904]

Masterpiece

[@aweescotsdog8358]

Instantly familiar. Have just heard this for the first time, I think? I feel like I've always known it. It's like a favourite old pair of comfortable shoes.

[@frankmettner6106]

Let this sweet music wash over your soul. This song is on my playlist for 2019, more on my KZbin channel.

[@madamehadomadam2627]

Personal Jesus in the intro...

[@helenkahajossyova298]

Lyrics are brutal. Video is awesome. Divine Comedy are simply the best!! Two songs in one...😊

[@clairevince7325]

+ ?.

[@musicloverUK]

Neil perfectly evokes the mood required: here 1. Quietly but relentlessly menacing 2. Whistful/remiscent of sound from a time passed. Hope we hear these at the gig next week. 👍

[@joshtae7285]

There's something very alluring about the animation style, love it

[@WilliamBarker]

Genius isn't it. Like the credits to Mad Men. It's done on Adobe After Effects.

[@kevbee8325]

Another one of those rare ad’s that didn’t get skipped...

[@godrilla5549]

Every song on this album is an absolute banger, I just wish they would release all the deluxe tracks on vinyl.

[@jamessayer913]

Absolute thumper. Woof woof! Golden delicious frappishness

[@Stu-The-Cue]

Very Scott Walker/John Barry strings and a walloping Mode-esque groove. An awesome return for the Comedy

[@paulmchugh8695]

I’m gonna say a few things now ? Been a fan for many years this song video reminds me of a bit of metropolis? Some of the lamb from genesis ? And a modern prog rock song !! I’m amazed wonderful bless u Neil x

[@soundseeker63]

Your life dictated by that crazy algorithm, indeed! Great music, wonderfully observed and intelligently delivered with humor and class. These guys are on point!

[@askingforthemoon]

It's just him! Just the great Neil Hannon :) his work is the perfect mix of humour (Queuejumper) and witty but deep lyrics (this song). Plus Ive rarely seen a project with so many elements of different genres (baroque pop, bossa nova, rock, jazz). This bloke is truly good.

[@rickywest2022]

Heard this for the first time today and have to say it's bloody awesome love it

[@Koshirozation]

why did this not show in my subscription feed? what a great album! eclectic, quirky and smart! you may not like all of it but definitely come to appreciate it more over the time, as it's great hypnotic whirl takes you in for a ride through songs like this (infernal machines) and then "norman and norma" or "when the working day is done" or "amazon pirates" and "parley"

[@ridd22]

Love this. Bit of Saul Bass. I live in an alternative universe however, where Neil Hannon gets to write and perform a James Bond opening theme!

[@simonidastankovic2627]

....and perform James Bond as well

[@askingforthemoon]

Mathieu Persan! Bang on! I knew this illustrative style rang a bell

[@MisterGreen2311]

This is just absurdly brilliant

[@darrenmarney8577]

It's a potential classic Mike 😀👌

[@Thomas-lk3pc]

What a good song!

[@RichardM-kv4uu]

I could definitely imagine Alison Goldfrapp singing this!

You are so right

I like it! Thank you, Divine Comedy! It makes me feel good. No matter it sounds like X or Y for others. For me it sounds PERFECT!

Lol when I first heard the song I really expected to hear Dave Gahan at some point, even just in the backing vocals 😀

[@reneperez2126]

ha ha ha right mate

[@heppolo]

both Depeche and a ittle bit of Muse circa Uprising.

[@pigglesy]

all missing the point and talking about bands rather than what it is about

[@houseoffun467]

See you in Portugal soon! 🙌

[@paullewis2553]

This is simply FAB

[@godrilla5549]

Seriosly get the vinyl, an emp can't stop it. You can fabricated a record player easily, this is some excellent post-apocalypse music you see.

[@toddribalkin6757]

Love it

[@charliebadger]

I'm amazed how easily Neil can write a song that could be the Doors, > You’ll Never Work In This Town Again :)

[@cehabe8355]

Yes...DOORS!!!....i always asked myself: "Where dit i heard that kind of music?" Your right, it sounds a bit of the Doors. But on the other hand, its not dark enough for the Doors. Definetly it's an "american 60's, playing as a british soap, special brasilian, swing, thing". Everytime when i hear it, it makes my shoulders move 😁
