James - Hey Ma
There are, of course, several more blistering tracks on Hey Ma (I Wanna Go Home, about a man dying of remorse in a bar, and Of Monsters and Heroes and Men, a song that's intricately constructed around an extended poem, immediately spring to mind) but it would be churlish at this stage to be so particular. James may have always written "uplifting songs about insecurity, disaffection and mental illness" but Hey Ma is something else entirely: world-wary, rather than world-weary, intimate yet intimidating, foreign yet somehow fleetingly familiar, Hey Ma documents the sound of a band at the top of their game. It is also the sound of a band upsetting the odds like never before.
