Review

Whatever Craig and Charlie Reid were doing in the six years between Persevere and its predecessor, Hit the Highway, the time wasn't spent developing a radical new sound. Persevere is instantly recognizable as a Proclaimers album, thanks to Charlie Reid's insistent acoustic rhythm guitar, a sparkling lead guitar bringing out the melody, and, foremost, the Reids' utterly unmistakable voices. Even if they'd come back after an absence of decades, it is unlikely that anything remotely like them would have appeared in the interim. The twins show no sign of losing their rare knack for composing memorable melodies with pugnacious lyrics. The best moments of Persevere combine both: witness the exuberant demolition of the British ruling party's values on "Land Fit for Zeroes," the jeering debunking of our celebrity-driven culture of self-pity on "Everybody's a Victim," and the eloquent reconciling of their fierce Scottish patriotism and internationalist politics on "Scotland's Story." The Proclaimers are defiantly unfashionable, immensely contrary, and altogether unique, and their return is as welcome as it is overdue. --Andrew Mueller
