Del Amitri Release Their First New Studio Album Since 2002

Today, Del Amitri release ‘Fatal Mistakes’, their seventh studio album and first since 2002, on Cooking Vinyl. It was recorded pretty much live in three weeks and it’s the brilliant sound of a 35-years-young band settling into what they do best: melodic rock songs with lyrical bite, soulful comfort and heart-swelling uplift.

Emerged to early critical acclaim, Fatal Mistakes has been previewed by the tracks ‘You Can’t Go Back’, ‘It’s Feelings’ and ‘Close Your Eyes and Think of England’. Today, they released a brand new remote live performance video for ‘All Hail Blind Love’.  Watch the video here.

Speaking on the new album, frontman Justin Currie says, “When we made ‘Waking Hours’ we knew there was no one else at the time who was doing that: a classic rock-pop record, very song-based, but with guitar solos and proper melodic performances. And it occurred to us a couple of years ago that, again, in Britain there’s a space for this. No band of any generation are doing this. So this feels like the right time.”

Guitarist Iain Harvie adds, “It’s just us, and the songs, all of it played by all five of us – no guest players or session guys. We’ve never done that before, so it’s a clean sheet, a new album, from a new band. It felt really free to make it.”
