On the 21st of April 2014, Jamie Lenman played the Islington Assembly Rooms in London, with a brass section, and created what was to be an unforgettable experience for everyone in the hall.

“What you hear on this album is seven people trying something completely new and more or less getting away with it. I still marvel at the sheer ballsyness of it, and it remains one of my proudest moments. I’m over the moon that people will get to hear it, and hear it sound so good.” – Jamie Lenman

Tracklisting:

Jamie Lenman made his name as the singer, guitarist and songwriter in alt-rock outfit Reuben, who toured and released relentlessly during the 2000s as part of the so-called “British post-hardcore renaissance” along with bands like Hundred Reasons, Biffy Clyro and Frank Turner’s Million Dead.

After the band’s dissolution in 2008, Lenman took a long break from music only to return in 2013 with the colossal double album Muscle Memory, combining elements of jazz, folk and thrash. Over the next ten years he continued to tour with various backing bands and released a string of records via indie label Big Scary Monsters, including the acclaimed Devolver in 2017 and career highlight The Atheist in 2022.
