Jimmy Eat World reveal plans to celebrate anniversaries of albums, Futures and Surviving
Jimmy Eat World are gearing up for the 20th anniversary of their fifth studio album, Futures, and the fifth anniversary of their tenth studio album, Surviving.
To commemorate, and to close out their three-chapter series, the Arizona quartet has made Futures: Phoenix Sessions (Chapter V) and Surviving: Phoenix Sessions (Chapter X) available on vinyl for the first time. Both limited-edition releases were recorded live as part of their 2021 Phoenix Sessions, a partnership with Danny Wimmer.
When discussing the recording process for Futures, the band explains it was “our darkest album and was the hardest for us to make. Futures was the first record we made where we didn’t feel like we were making it anonymously.” Despite Futures “being a super challenging record to make,” they add, “we pushed through and ended up with an album we are super proud of to this day. Being able to reimagine it as a live recording so many years later for the Phoenix Sessions was an amazing experience, and we hope you enjoy reliving it again as much as we did.”
Earlier this year, to mark the 25th anniversary of Clarity, the band released Clarity: Phoenix Sessions (Chapter III), a limited-edition two-LP pressed on sunkissed colored vinyl. Jimmy Eat World’s only hometown show of 2024 sees the band performing Futures in its entirety on 17 October at The Van Buren in Phoenix, AZ.
