Jamie T has revealed that his upcoming album was written from voice notes recorded throughout his entire career.
The indie icon recently announced his new album, ‘Ghosts (100 Days of Morning)’, which is due for release on October 9 via Polydor Records. It will mark the highly anticipated follow-up to Jamie’s fifth album ‘The Theory of Whatever’ which dropped in 2022.
Ahead of the album’s release, he’s already shared the lead single ‘3310’ and, last week, he previewed other new material during a last-minute, intimate gig at London’s Scala.
Now, he’s shared further information about the album. Posting on X yesterday (Monday August 24), Jamie revealed that the cover was shot by photographer tamp.two, “A brilliant artist and now friend I met on the seafront in Bognor Regis,” he wrote.
“Bognor holds a rather special place in my heart,” Jamie continued. “It reminds me of good times, family and healing. With a reputation as ‘Britain’s worst seaside town’ we were keen to show you the beauty the tabloids leave out of their smear campaigns. Bognor is a beautiful place and the people are even better.”
He then went on to reflect on his 2023 headline gig at Finsbury Park – his biggest performance to date. “After playing Finsbury Park, I stopped for the first time in what seemed like my whole career. I felt like something was over. I felt I wanted to move on. The past can become a burden if you let it,” he said.
“Things can stick around in your mind and ruminate for years. What ifs, wrong steps, heartbreak, loss. It became clear to me that to move forward I would have to process the journey I’ve been on,” he added. “To extract and untangle myself from the past in order to put it to bed . Recorded over roughly a hundred days, I used voice memos spanning my whole career to construct the album.”
