Review

Entertainment Weekly (7/18/97, p.85) - "...Scotsmen Justin Currie and Iain Harvie have turned out a kind of engaging, tuneful rock that hasn't been heard on these shores since, perhaps, the Bodeans' GO SLOW DOWN. Ironic but never cynical, PARADE works as both art and artifact." - Rating: B+
Musician (8/97, p.89) - "...[they] have an odd knack for making the ordinary special--for inserting precisely the right wrong turn in both lyrics and melodies....clever pop songs that are unique because, in their own way, each is always somehow off..."

Title Note

Del Amitri: Justin Currie (vocals, bass); Iain Harvie (guitar); Jon McLoughlin, Andy Alston, Andy Soan.

Additional personnel: Jamie Syberth (whistle); London Session Orchestra.

Japanese edition contains two bonus cuts--"Sleep Instead Of Teardrops" and "Paper" (Ambient Mix).

Del Amitri (Greek for "from the womb") births another album's worth of pop-rock nuggets dealing with the tenuous state of romantic relationships. Forgoing the darker, lengthier ruminations of their prior album TWISTED, Del Amitri keeps most of their songs close to the three-minute mark while tossing together an intriguing mix of trashy guitar, gorgeous strings and country twang.

The title track is a perfect juxtaposition of dirty-sounding fretwork and sweeping strings that perfectly offsets the chiming, Byrds-like guitar pop of "Not Where It's At." The Nashville influence appears on "Life Is Full," a stomper with tinkling piano, and the country-soul of "Won't Make It Better," where Justin Currie comes off sounding like a modern-day Pete Ham. Despite all this strum-and-twang, rock 'n' roll is their true calling, and these Scots show it with the in-your-face guitar work of the sassy, Oasis-meets-Suede "High Times" and the reverb-soaked raucousness of "Medicine."
