Divine Comedy to record covers album

Neil Hannon has exclusively revealed to Hot Press that he's working on a covers project.

"2005 is going to be The Year of Other Stuff," he reveals over a pint of Guinness. "I want to see more of my daughter than I have done over the past 12 months, work with other people and do a covers album."

When's that coming out?

"When I've made it, give us a chance! As for what's going to be on it, I'm currently canvassing opinion."

We reckon he'd do a killer 'London Calling' by The Clash.
"Duly noted!"
