James have set a new studio album for release on August 3rd.
Living In Extraordinary Times will feature cuts from the recent Better Than That EP, including the excellent title-track, and like the EP was produced by Charlie Andrew along with Beni Giles. “This album is full of big tunes,” the former has said.
“Tim and the guys are all very good at writing huge hooks. There’s some really big, energetic tracks and some nice, chilled ones. There’s some monstrous tracks, like ‘Hank’, which is just vast with layers and layers of drums.”
“We knew something was up when Leicester City won the league then Brexit, then Trump,” frontman Tim Booth added. “It is as if we’d slipped into an alternate reality, a Philip K Dick reality. We are living in extraordinary times.”
