About James
Fronted by the keening tenor of Tim Booth, James had a long evolutionary process and a slow road to international success.
They formed in Manchester in 1982 and released their 1983 debut EP on the now-legendary hometown label Factory Records, unveiling offbeat, complex tunes that were equal parts post-punk and folk rock.
Over time, James gradually developed a more accessible sound, and their third album, 1990’s Gold Mother, became a big U.K.
