It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years since Millionaires dropped, but not hard to believe that the band responsible is still going strong.

“Everything old is new again,” as the saying goes. This applies as much to ‘90s Britpop groups as it does to anything else. Pulp reunited, Suede released a comeback record (which is arguably better than David Bowie’s of the same year), and Blur played Coachella alongside The Stone Roses. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that La Petite Mort, a new record by James, has entered the fray in 2014. More
