James Holden & The Animal Spirits announce a London date

A few weeks back, producer James Holden returned, and he brought a few new band members along with him.

Four years on from the release of his last album ‘The Inheritors’, James has formed new band The Animal Spirits – featuring both long-time collaborators and new members - and they’re set to unveil their new album ‘The Animal Spirits’ on 3rd November via his own label Border Community. It’s been recorded live in one room in single takes, with no overdubs and edits, in an attempt to capture a sense of raw dynamism and live spirit.

Now they’re set to harness that same raw intensity in front of a large live audience. James and the band have announced that they’ll be playing at London’s Islington Assembly Hall on 6th December. Tickets for the new date are on sale now.

Revisit the first single from ‘The Animal Spirits’, ‘Pass Through The Fire’, below.
