Justin Currie was still in his teens when he co-founded Del Amitri in his hometown of Glasgow. From 1982 to 2002, the band evolved from resourceful D.I.Y. indie combo to international hitmakers, releasing six much-loved studio albums before amicably parting ways. In 2007, Currie released his solo debut, What Is Love For? on Rykodisc, which was acclaimed for its superb songcraft and somber brilliance. On The Great War, Currie returns with a fresh collection of infectious melodies and ingenious wordplay - a combination of dark lyrical themes melded with a newfound optimism. The first single, “A Man With Nothing To Do,” captures Currie’s signature songwriting technique, evoking a sense of vivacity with harmonious hooks and upbeat tempos while simultaneously unveiling multiple meanings through playful, provocative lyrics.
