It looks like Jamiroquai are on the comeback trail.
Jay Kay’s funky eco-warriors have been posting a series of teasers online, warning fans of the imminent arrival of Automaton. Their last LP was 2010’s Rock Dust Light Star, released through Universal/Mercury.
In addition, further fuelling speculation of the Virtual Insanity hitmakers’ return to the public sphere, they have booked a series of tour dates across Japan, South Korea and continental Europe. UK and Ireland shows are yet to materialise, however.
