Nominated for a Mercury Prize, 'Panic Prevention' peaked at number 4 in the UK album charts on its release in January 2007. Containing the singles 'Sheila', 'If You've Got The Money' and 'Calm Down Dearest', the CD version of the new 15th-anniversary edition will include an unreleased gig, Panic Prevention Disco: Live @ The Scala from 2006. Recorded on to cassette and given away free at gigs, it features an encore including a version of Billy Bragg's 'A New England'.
Yesterday, Jamie T teased the news by posting a picture of a croissant to social media - a hint to the opening shout of the first track on 'Panic Prevention', 'Brand New Bass Guitar'.

Earlier this year, news broke that
Jamie T’s fifth album was “done”, after a since deleted tweet from mixing engineer Jag Jago.
With a previous list of collaborators including the Maccabees,
Jessie Ware and
Ten Tonnes, Jago tweeted “
Jamie T album 5. Done. Seriously looking forward to 2022!”
The album will be the first new studio record from
Jamie T since 2016’s ‘
Trick’.
Update: If you head to
Jamie T's Instagram story right now, you might hear him say something about "new music" that's perhaps coming "soon". Just saying.
