James Announce New Album 'Living In Extraordinary Times'
Wednesday, 16 May 2018
Written by Laura Johnson
James will release a new album this summer.
'Living In Extraordinary Times' is due to arrive on August 3 and will follow up this year's 'Better Than That' EP. The record was produced by Charlie Andrew and Beni Giles.
Discussing it, Andrew said:
“This album is full of big tunes. 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.”
In a statement, vocalist Tim Booth commented:
“We knew something was up when Leicester city won the league then Brexit, then Trump. It is as if we'd slipped into an alternate reality, a Philip K Dick reality. We are living in extraordinary times.”
