Add Date: February 8
Artist: James Vincent McMorrow
Album: Early in the Morning
Label: Vagrant
Genre: Folk, rock
Comments: One can't listen to this album and not instinctively compare McMorrow's sound to Bon Iver. Nonetheless, this is a very, very good album, with well-written songs that boast layers and layers of melodies and harmonies.
From promoter: "From start to finish, Early in the Morning is a 10-song recollection of one man's journey through a time of change and transition. Having four years worth of songs written and endless time to document them allowed for James to dissect each song and perfect [it]. Early In The Morning begins with a 5-part harmony echoing over the sounds of an organ and folk guitar in the eerie opener, 'If I Had A Boat.' 'I always knew when I wrote this song that it would open the album,' acknowledges James. 'The last two years that preceded this record being made involved some of the greatest change I’d ever experienced, physical, emotional and spiritual.'"
This is a fine folk album, definitely worth checking out. Start with 3, 2, 1 and 6.
