It never feels as though James are comfortable with wholly embracing something brand new and daring»

James release their new album 'Girl At The End Of The World' out on BMG Recordings. James are one of the UK's most creatively restless and loved artists. Known for their unique and diverse style over their 13 studio albums, they're both critically acclaimed and commercially successful, having sold over 12 million albums worldwide. The band originally signed to the iconic Factory Records in 1982, and have since gone onto produce a string of massive hit singles, including: Sit Down, Come Home, She's A Star and Born of Frustration. Now, 32 years on they have come up with a record that the band consider their best ever. 'Girl At The End Of The World' sees the band team with producer Max Dingel (The Killers, Muse, White Lies) with the legendary Brian Eno infusing his unique influence into the blend. The new album is both anthemic and euphoric, with it's simmering electronica continuing James' long connection to the dance floor. The band's trademark songwriting and Tim Booth's distinctive vocal and evocative lyrics prove once again to be amongst Britain's finest.
