Jamie Lenman Returns With Album Announcement And UK Tour
Wednesday, 25 September 2013 Written by Jon Stickler

Jamie Lenman, one of the best British songwriters of the last ten years, is set to release a double album through Xtra Mile Recordings. In addition, you can catch him live on tour later in 2013.

Best known through his work with Reuben (who split in 2008), ‘Muscle Memory’ is Jamie’s first new material and is set for release on November 4. Split into two discs: disc one brings together the heavier side of life. Brutal riffs and intense vocals on songs such as Shower Of Scorn, The Fuck Of It All and Fizzy Blood. Disc 2 shows Jamie’s strength for melody and song writing – from the beautiful It’s Hard To Be A Gentleman to the big band jazz of Pretty Please to the intensely moving Saturday Night.

The 23 track double album is split into two equal sides of 11 tracks each.

CD1
1. The Six Fingered Hand
2. Fizzy Blood
3. No News Is Good News
4. One Of My Eyes Is A Clock
5. Shower Of Scorn
6. A Terrible Feeling
7. The Fuck Of It All
8. All The Things You Hate About Me, I Hate Them Too
9. Gary, Indiana
10. A Plague On Both Your Houses
11. Muscle

5. Little Lives
6. If You Have To Ask You'll Never Know
7. Pretty Please
8. A Quiet Understanding

10. A Day In The Life

In line with the album the lead single will be both Fizzy Blood (heavy) and Pretty Please (non heavy). The two track single will be part of a split 7” release with the other side featuring a track by Mongol Horde (Frank Turners side project). The release will be the fourth and final split 7” release as part of the Xtra Mile Recordings XMR10 series.
