Indie favourite Jamie T has revealed details of his sixth studio album Ghosts (100 Days of Morning), an emotional 11 track project set to arrive on October 9.
The British singer explores the “ghosts” of ideas and memories from his past while revisiting sides of himself that he admits he once kept “at arm’s length.”
Jamie has marked the announcement by releasing 3310, the album’s opening track, which takes its name from the iconic Nokia mobile phone from the 2000s. Directed by Rob Thorogood, the seaside music video captures a bizarre early morning atmosphere as joggers and people coming home after a night out cross paths.
The album also brings together several notable names. Damon Albarn helped with writing and keyboards on Cocktail, while Hugo White, known for his work with The Maccabees, serves as co producer on Crucible and Tallahassee, helping shape the album’s combination of raw energy, emotion and nostalgic indie character.
Those who were unable to get tickets for his Alexandra Palace show will have another opportunity to see Jamie at a special one off performance at London’s Scala this Thursday (20.08.26).
The Sheila singer said: “Everyone has a part of themselves they keep at arm's length, even from the people they love. Ghosts to me is about seeing that version of yourself for the first time in a long time and trying to hold on to it. This album is me trying to find that again.”
Ghosts arrives after an impressive period for Jamie, which has included his sold out headline performance at Finsbury Park in 2023 and his collaboration with Fred Again, Lights Burn Dimmer, released this year.
Jamie previously described his 2023 Finsbury Park concert as the "biggest moment of my life”.
The 40 year old singer songwriter performed his largest headline show to date in North London in July 2023, where he thanked the huge crowd that braved the rain to see him and his band.
He said: "Hello Finsbury Park, thank you for coming down. You guys look good in the neighbourhood right now.
“Are you with us? Because this is the biggest moment of my life right now.”
Jamie, whose real name is Jamie Alexander Treays, also paused during the performance to express his appreciation to the fans who helped make the night memorable.
He said: "We’ve been doing this for near enough 20 years and this is the first time we’ve ever played our set in the dark.
“This means the world to us, thank you so much.”
