REVIEW: James Vincent McMorrow: Post-Tropical

  James Vincent McMorrow’s sound pulls from a generation of great artists who coincidentally share a first initial and is an eclectic mix of his Isle mates James Blake, Jessie Ware, and in America Justin Vernon.  The new album, Post-Tropical is a combination of dreamy and melancholic and serves as a reminder that even the darkest parts of human existence can be beautiful. This record is delicate and grounded in an intimacy that comes from escaping that gloom.

With song titles like “Gold,” “The Lakes,” “All Points,” and “Glacier” we are given the sense that a journey did indeed take place and like the “post” in Post Tropical that odyssey has ended leaving debris and recollection in its wake. The “wish you were here” sentiment need not be expressed as McMorrow takes us with him to this inner place he is trying to make sense of. Reality has set in and we are privy to what that means for McMorrow.

Rolling drums, shimmering keys, pulsing synthesizers, and McMorrow’s falsetto build architecturally dense songs that feel warm while his lyrics bring in a somber tone. The vocals become more of a layer than a guide as the words meld together becoming indecipherable, the emotive quality of McMorrow’s voice points due North in determining mood. Post-Tropical is a beautiful undertaking and an emotionally grounded second record from James McMorrow.

James McMorrow plays Lincoln Hall in Chicago this evening. The show is sold out and not to be missed. For more information visit Lincoln Hall’s website.
