The last time I listened to an album from the Mancunian indie-rockers was back in 2014 with their album La Petit Mort. James always sounded like a band with well-worked lyrics but in Yummy they have taken it to the next level. The opener ?Is This Love? is an absolute James classic that contemplates the meaning of love with some delicate strings and rousing synths. The romance continues in the beautiful ?Better With You?, where love is the answer and it?s the only ingredient that people need. Celebrating the everyday, ?Life?s A Fucking Miracle? is as joyful and life-affirming as the title suggests. The track also encourages inclusiveness with the line ?celebrate, she, he, we, they, welcome sign??. Lyrically, the strongest track of the album is probably found in the tongue-in-cheek track 'Mobile God'. Booth critiques the human reliance on technology, the way mobiles have taken over and controlled our lives, and how we often overlook the important things in life ? ?give me your keys, your ID, your schedule, I?m with your kids?. The lyrics of ?Our World? touch on the environmental issues that humanity must address for the earth's survival with lines like ?How many ways can we kill ourselves? Plastics, oil, forever chemicals? and ?Profit today from our children?s tomorrow". Joyful and uplifting, Yummy is the sound of an astute band that still thrives on creation and has many things to say. Recommendations: "Life's a Fucking Miracle", "Our World", "Better With You", "Way Over Your Head".r
