Legendary Mancunian outfit, James have unleashed their latest and long-anticipated full-length offering, All The Colours Of You today (Friday 4th June) via Virgin Music Label & Artists Services.

Marking the band's sixteenth studio album release over an incredible 39-year career thus far, All The Colours Of You is the groups first LP since 2018's critically acclaimed Living in Extraordinary Times.

Recorded in part before the onset of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the northern collective, fronted by charismatic vocalist Tim Booth, acquired the services of one of the worlds most renowned studio technicians, Grammy award-winning producer Jacknife Lee (U2, Taylor Swift, REM and Snow Patrol) to bring the 11-track record to life.

Working remotely on the album from his Topanga Canyon Studio in Los Angeles with neighbouring frontman Booth, the pair collaborated virtually with bassist Jim Glennie to reassemble demos created back in 2019.

The resulting product is a collection of festival-ready anthems, boasting a refreshed and energetic sound the likes of which fans of James will have never heard before. An ambitious body of work, tackling themes of politics, the imminent global climate disaster, and life and death, with an accomplished sound to boot - All The Colours Of You is a perfectly timed release that's set to resonate with huge audiences at live events throughout the summer.

Catch James performing live in the build-up to this year's Highest Point Festival in Lancaster, at Williamson Park on Thursday 2nd September 2021. Tickets are available for purchase below:
