Exclamation The Proclaimers announce Dentures Out feat. James Dean Bradfield

12thTHE PROCLAIMERS ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM
DENTURES OUT
FEATURING MANIC STREET PREACHERS’ JAMES DEAN BRADFIELD ON GUITAR
RELEASED 16 SEPTEMBER

Thirty-five years since the release of their landmark debut album This Is The Story, and 34 since the release of Sunshine On Leith, the second album that made them international stars, The Proclaimers are back with their 12th studio album. And, at the ripe young age of 60, the fire and ire of Craig and Charlie Reid remain righteously undimmed. Dentures Out is a record of the times, for the times, the twins at their political, observational, satirical and fist-punchingly tuneful best.
Dentures Out is 13 songs clocking in at a lean, tight, focused 34 minutes. Only one number, the closing ‘What The Audience Knew’, busts the 180-second mark. The rest are sub-three-minute miniatures of polemical pop perfection, recorded at Rockfield in Wales in three quick weeks in spring 2022, lent six-string wings by guest guitarist James Dean Bradfield (who plays on the title track and ‘Things As They Are’, the latter an epic song, the James Bond theme that never was) and produced by Dave Eringa, his third consecutive album with the Scotsmen.
On their most political album since Sunshine On Leith, in the lyrical firing line are: the weaponising of nostalgia for electoral capital, porcine press barons, the comforting but distracting illusion of destiny, the hysterical bubble of modern life, the misery of a Sunday stripped of fun by Calvinist puritanism, and the romancing of a recent past that lands us with a cosily commodified heritage culture.
The first single, ‘The World That Was’, is a rocking singalong that finds the Reids in full-throated vigour, on a song about the frustration of how nostalgia was pressed into service during the pandemic with illusions to wartime warmth. This theme is further explored on the title track. ‘Dentures Out’ is an anti-nostalgia song, with Britain as a dilapidated, toothless old crone, a diminished country, clinging onto former, vanished glories.
‘Feast Your Eyes’s strings-laden sweep and big production amplify a song reflecting on the yawning emptiness and loneliness felt during the first lockdown – a time when even a twin-brother duo who’ve been making music for four decades was too big a bubble. That period early in the pandemic also birthed ‘Sundays By John Calvin’, a swinging but maudlin ballad that reflects a long-held hatred for the week’s dreariest day. The Reids grew up in a Scotland where every kid knew the image of swings and playparks in the Western Isles being shackled by religious leaders on Sundays. During Covid, the rest of the UK saw that, too.
Then there’s the rollicking ‘Drop Dead Destiny’, a piano-and-guitar-solo belter that showcases the time-served skills of The Proclaimers’ live band. A song which questions the notion of destiny, pointing out life is really a multiple series of events.
This is The Proclaimers of 2022: fast, funny, furious. Firmly looking forwards and pushing brilliantly onwards. The past is a foreign country, and not a place Craig and Charlie Reid ever want to visit. All these years in, they’re still about the next song, the next gig, the next opportunity. They sound like they always did. Only better.

Your mission FD, should you choose to accept it. Is to use The Proclaimers album as this week's chart battle.
Good luck with your mission, Jim. And rather than self destruct this message will be left in perpetuity on the public side of an Internet forum. So denying all knowledge is obviously going to happen just to waste news hours denying what had been obviously posted here.
