James announce girl at the end of the world tour

James have announced a tour in support of their new album 'Girl At The End Of The World' released next March.

The 2016 tour will see them showcase hits from their previous 13 studio albums likely to include 'Sit Down', 'Come Home', 'She's A Star', and 'Born of Frustration from their 32 year career alongside new material.

"Bands talk about that difficult second album but it's the trickster 14th one that's the real M*&^%R F&%$#R," said singer Tim Booth, of the making of the new record.

"As always with James it's a collaborative process allowing ample room for improvisation, intuition, skill and dumb luck. From the outside our process looks like chaos but chaos is our friend and we have a history that gives us confidence that something magical will eventually appear. Most of my best lyrics are unconscious typos so don¹t ask me what it's about; your projection is as good as mine. This was perhaps the most difficult and stressful album we have ever made. I hope you find it as rewarding as we do. oyster grit-pearl." He added.

Jim Glennie added, "The essence of James is live. The pleasure never diminishes. I can't wait for us to get our hands on these songs in front of the best audience a band can have."
