The band is set to release Fatal Mistakes, its first album since 2002, in May.ĭel Amitri never officially broke up and has regrouped in recent years for the occasional short tour. Currie has released four winning solo efforts since, but a reconvening with guitarist Iain Harvie, a fellow Scot and the other Del mainstay, is welcome news in 2021. The most jarring Del Amitri exit came in the early 2000s, when the band itself disappeared, dropped by its label. A lip-locked Currie (or song character) casing the exits is like Paul Simon’s 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover spread out over a three-and-a-half-decade career instead of just a three-and-a-half-minute song. There’s a nagging one-foot-out-the-door romantic restlessness that winds through one of the most rewarding – and deceptively deep – pop-rock catalogs of the 1990s.ĭuring a six-album run, front man/bassist Justin Currie wore his fidgety heart on his record sleeve: Kiss This Thing Goodbye. Someone always seems to be leaving in a Del Amitri song.
