After the incredible success of his third album, 'Carry on the Grudge', 2015 sees Jamie T return with the release of a brand new EP entitled 'Magnolia Melancholia'. Fresh off the back of a series of critically acclaimed lives shows, including two sold-out Alexandra Palace performances, this release shows he's got no plans of slowing down. Led by the moody and captivating 'Don't You Find', the video for which has had over 1 million views, the EP showcases Jamie's emotive song writing with previously unheard tracks 'Magnolia Melancholia', 'Marilyn Monroe' and 'Riverbed'. There's also covers of "Mama don't smoke" by 90's cult-heroes Bran Van 3000 and a poignant, stripped-back version of The Replacements classic anthem to misspent youth, 'Bastards of Young'.
