  4. 8.0 |   The List

    Probably Scotland’s top export, and still cool with it, the prolific Proclaimers attract an eclectic pop fanbase, thirsty for their lyrical brogue of honest Celtabilly

  5. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

    What has kept them fresh is an endless supply of musical energy, lyrical ideas and, perhaps, the notion that not everything they do has to revolve around their bestknown songs.

  6. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    Their latest record isn’t perfect, but it shows that the talent didn’t run completely dry two decades ago.

  7. 6.0 |   The Scotsman

    Notes & Rhymes is a robust collection, and as welcome as an old friend, but it is rarely inspired. No matter – at The Proclaimers' current workrate, there will be more of that along directly

Latest Reviews

David Byrne  Who Is The Sky

The artist’s new album of bright, bustling pop is positioned as a celebration of reasons to be cheerful. Often its fountain of optimism feels like a firehose of forced positivity Pitchfork

Ed Sheeran  Play

On the enjoyably moreish Play, the ‘culturally Irish’ star sounds as if he’s back on form. Although we’ve only had time for a quick listen The Irish Times

Baxter Dury  Allbarone

This record plays like his shot for glory, and with tracks as hooky and well-constructed as "Mockingjay" or the title track, there's no reason he shouldn't hit the big time All Music
