James Vincent McMorrow - Post Tropical (2014) [Hi-Res]

Since he released his first album Early In The Morning in 2010, James Vincent McMorrow has been creating an intoxicating concoction of folk and soul. His slight falsetto has much in common with Justin Vernon of Bon Iver or James Blake and gives his musical a certain dream-like quality. To write Post Tropical, the Irish singer-songwriter shut himself away on a farm on the Mexican border. The result is an album which reaches towards the sublime with its pure and refined melodies and harmonies, evident from the very first bars of album opener Cavalier. McMorrow strips back, and the result is a bewitchingly superb second album.
