JAMES have announced details of their new album to be released on 12 April and available to pre-order from 25 January. YUMMY is the band’s 18th studio album and was produced by Leo Abrahams.
The first single from the record, IS THIS LOVE, is the album’s string-swept opener, blending cutting edge synthetics with quintessential James anthemics, as complex a dissection of love in all its forms as singer Tim Booth pores over the pain, heat, battle, distance, fear, release and endurance of this emotion, in pursuit of its point and purpose. “Love as a bomb,” says Tim, “a Tsunami that rolls over our life as we cling to the wreckage of our peace of mind”.
Full details for the album including tracklist, formats and artwork to follow in the coming weeks.
James head out on their biggest ever tour in June, playing across the UK including the new Co-op Live arena in Manchester and culminating at London’s 02 on 15th June, the first time the band have played the 20,000 capacity venue.
Tim, Jim and Saul perform with Joe Duddell and an orchestra at Music Feeds Live: A Concert to Fight Food Poverty in aid of The Trussell Trust at O2 Apollo Manchester on 27th February. They join other artists including Slow Readers Club, Lanterns on the Lake, and British Poet Laureate Simon Armitage with his band LYR. Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher will host the event alongside BBC 6 Music presenter Chris Hawkins, with Joe Duddell collaborating with the guests throughout the night.
