JAMES VINCENT MCMORROW @ THE CLUNY, NEWCASTLEConceived and written in a 5 month period in a house by the Irish seaside, JVMcM's debut LP 'Early in the morning' has been hailed in his homeland as "one of the first truly great albums of the decade" (The Dubliner), before receiving a torrent of acclaim upon its release here.
...The record showcases a fragile, falsetto voice breathing intricate melodic lines and harmonies that are lyrically infatuated with the whistful and mournful.
The rustic arrangements of chords and vocal vanish and return like the ebbing and flowing of a river through cold autumn woodland.
Since 2010 James has earned an American contract with Vagrant and early comparisons to Justin Vernon and Crosby Stills and Nash. Though in the dreamy falsetto vocals, and the fact that everything involved was written and performed by one person, 'Early in the Morning' has a flavour and posture entirely its own.
