Stereoboard – Review: James - Yummy (Album Review)

Posted on
Stereoboard | Graeme Marsh | 24th April 2024

Despite some similarities with earlier releases, James are no parody of their former selves. Instead, they have evolved into a more mature version. With the addition of Alper’s voice, there is a sustained feeling of being offered something new. As a result, ‘Yummy’ is without doubt the best album James have released since they reformed.
