Manchester indie veterans James released their latest album Living In Extraordinary Times a few months ago to critical acclaim, scoring another Top 10 album in the process. The band have just issued a lovely acoustic version of this song as a single, but today let's marvel at the power of the glorious album version.
The stunning grace of 'Leviathan' recalls the sparkling beauty of 2014's 'Moving On', rising into another sweet, majestic chorus. Across this record, there are fascinating, maverick rhythmic ideas, and a wealth of sounds that are interesting yet always accessible. Their gift for creating superb arrangements is something they bring to the fore on this album, along with some terrific songwriting. Living proof that a bands best work isn't always from their younger days, and that age means experience, not being past your peak. Somehow, James just keep on hitting the targets and confounding expectations.
