It is not every album that starts with what sounds very much like the exclamation 'fucking croissant! The morning before he plays London Astoria – bringing these songs that feel like have existed forever into a building no-one ever assumed could be knocked down – we all sit inside with a copy of the record in our different homes and listen to 'Panic Prevention' for the first time in it’s entirety. I don’t like putting myself in a situation where my insecurities start to come up, where I’m worried about what people are saying. So, to prove his point, it’s lunchtime when I stroll through the double doors of a lovely old-school pub on Hackney’s main drag. It's that recklessness that propels Panic Prevention, one of the all-time great British solo debuts.

The little things are annoying, of course, like the “that'll do” pointless pop culture punnery namedrops that litter (“Starz in Their Eyes”/”Alicia Quays”), or the way they take up so much time with vocal samples from (old documentaries/self-help tapes) in the same way that a struggling student quotes increasingly large and irrelevant passages of text in a desperate attempt to meet a word count. For the announcement, you need to say – obviously in your own words – that the 29th of January will be the 15th anniversary of Panic Prevention.That said, he’s written around 200 songs since Trick and only 13 have found their way on to the basic edition of The Theory Of Whatever. citation needed] He was educated at Reed's School leaving at 16 to study at a local sixth form college.

He’s particularly proud of his album’s rocket-fuelled first single, The Old Style Raiders, which, he says, contains hope and positivity. I’m not obsessed with myself, so it’s not important for me to release music until I’m ready,” he decides. Then it was 50 Ways To Kill Your Lover and eventually I went back to the original (work-in-progress) title, The Theory Of Whatever. But obviously it happens naturally because I live here and it’s my life, the place where I’ve written all my songs.

This time the daydream is less focussed on myself, but instead one of fan-ish re-energisation that falling in love with music can every now and again do to you. His album 'Panic Prevention' felt like a real event, the sound of an unvarnished voice speaking truths that connected with people who didn't often feel heard. Now he’s back with The Theory Of Whatever, a record bristling with invention and underpinned by his refreshing “don’t give a f**k what people think” mentality. I get where he’s coming from because there’s nothing quite like a Jamie T record, from the singular turns of phrase to the unexpected twists and turns of the music. Koko is stuffed full, the tier-upon-tier stacking itself into shelves of drunken attention for a singular boy about to walk into view, sit on the table and play songs alone with his bass.

It's as Garry Mulholland implies in this issue: this 21-year-old troubadour might be conscious of history, but he doesn't feel its weight. He also performed at Glastonbury 2007, Benicàssim 2007, Oxegen 2007 (8 July) where he performed at the green room, and Carling Weekend Leeds 2007. Neither, even, is it even the lulling between fantasy and reality that Jamie has encouraged in me in myriad ways for a couple of years previous.Treays ended the announcement by hinting at new material on the way, as he read: “Also, maybe say something about new music coming out soon.

Panic Prevention (15th Anniversary Edition) by Jamie T

His debut album is a grimy Bayeux Tapestry of a standard night out in the capital, populated by revellers and wrong'uns alike.The Maccabees watched Jamie T's rise first hand, sharing bills and dressing rooms, crossing paths at festivals across the land. Jamie has said that his favourite song in this album is "Emily's Heart" because it reminds him of Emily Evans (a former girlfriend. In a pre-streaming or internet-orientated world, I have no opinion on him yet beyond rare anticipation.
