New album out already this year (on record too i think?).




Lots of vocal manipulation used fairly subtly. His voice still shines through.

It's the one track I don't really care for. Doesn't help that I hate how he sings the word "water." lol. Still a really good album.

Cliche college post--Listened to this album while high and "I Never Learnt to Share" was the surprising highlight. There's a lot more going on in that song than I previously thought.

This album is still rewarding, even after leaving it for a bit and coming back.

All the hipster chicks are dropping their panties for this one but none of them will be able to tell you why, as always.

Sorry 'Bain. I lost interest when my best friend (who can't stop peddling his stuff to me) told me he went to see James live and there were hundreds of girls there, talking throughout the concert and hoping he would 'play the song from radio 1'. It's not his fault but god that's a buzz killer.
