on something of a richly creative run, tim booth & co swiftly follow up 2023's beautifully nostalgic 'be opened by the wonderful', with the equally warm & nourishing 'yummy' - produced by leo abrahams (who has previously collaborated with jon hopkins, brian eno, jarvis cocker, imogen heap & regina spektor) & mixed by cenzo townsend (courteeners, specials, keane, snow patrol, everything everything), they are 40+ years in & still sounding super fresh.
“beautiful lush instrumentation with multiple layers and gorgeous vocal harmonies – chloe alper’s contributions throughout this album a highlight and a development in the james sound – make it feel like an instant james anthemic classic.” – louder than war
