Two years after the release of their third studio album ‘The Ceiling,’ JAWS have returned with an announcement of a UK tour and limited-edition photo book.
Following their 2019 album release, the Birmingham dream-pop group set out on a UK tour with photographer and close friend Peter Lally. The photos taken on that tour were then turned into a printed book, available to fans on Friday 21st May. The book contains intimate and captivating images from the band’s 2019 tour dates in Bristol, Southampton, Oxford, Nottingham, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Belfast, Dublin, Leeds and Coventry. Speaking about the tour and the decision to release a photo book, frontman Connor Schofield stated:
“Originally there was no intention to make a book, we had Peter out on the road with us taking pictures but we thought it would be cool to use all the photos from one period of time to create something physical rather than images just sitting on Instagram or my hard drive for the rest of time. We’re all really happy with how the book has turned out, and hope that other people can find just as much enjoyment out of it as we do flicking back through it”
A number of copies will be made available to purchase individually, and as bundles with limited edition t-shirts and prints. JAWS also announced that they will be touring the UK for the first time since 2019.
