His debut album went platinum, the media compared him to Bon Iver and he was described as a brilliant folk singer. But all along his intentions were other.
Post Tropical is daring. James Vincent McMorrow evolved his sound but keeping the remarkable falsettos and astounding lyrics, making music close to what he actually listens to. “I wanted to give this record the feel and movement of the hip-hop records that I love.” We must remember he has previously stated The Neptunes as an influence, so this is not strange.
Choosing 808s and a looped piano, “Red Dust” gives us a hint of what the rest of the album is about, creating new textures and atmospheres along with its first single “Cavalier,” a tremendously beautiful opening.
Due on January 14th Believe Recordings will be in charge of releasing the album in Europe, while in the US Vagrant Records.
