JAMES Vincent McMorrow has announced a release date for his new album and a gig in Limerick.
The opening track from his new album is streaming now on www.musiclimerick.com. The song ‘Cavalier’ off his new album ‘Post Tropical’ sees McMorrow ditch the guitar for a James Blake-style sparse soundtrack. It is a stunning piece that will raise anticipation for the artist’s Limerick show and new record.
The critically acclaimed debut album ‘Early in the Morning’ from James Vincent McMorrow reached number 1, went platinum and picked up a Choice Music Prize nomination upon its release in 2010. The follow up album ‘Post Tropical’ will be released in January. The new record will herald a change in musical direction for the songwriter who revealed, “I’m so proud of ‘Early in the Morning’ but I never longed to be a guy with a guitar. You play these songs live as best you can, and suddenly you’re a folk musician. But the texture of this new record is completely different. This is the kind of stuff that makes sense to me.”
James Vincent McMorrow will play University Concert Hall, Limerick on Saturday February 1.
