It’s been 15 years since The Proclaimers’ “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” appeared in the film Benny & Joon and became a U.S. smash — which, incidentally, was five years after it had already been a smash everywhere else. Though some are quick to write off this band as a one-hit wonder, they’ve been churning out delightful releases for decades, and all have been marked by their quirky sense of humor, their palpable politics and passions, and their effervescent joy. The new one, Life With You, is no different, and boasts a terrific self-titled first single. Hear snippets in this Songlines podcast.
The Proclaimers have a charming spin-off site where fans can post photos of themselves in the band’s signature specs.
