Communiqué is the second studio album by British rock band Dire Straits, released in 1979. The album reflects a more polished sound compared to their debut, showcasing the band's distinctive blend of rock, jazz, and country influences. Songs like 'Lady Writer' and 'Angel of Mercy' highlight Mark Knopfler's lyrical storytelling and trademark guitar work. While it did not achieve the commercial success of their later albums, Communiqué has been praised for its musicianship and cohesion, solidifying Dire Straits' place in the rock genre.
