Dew Process have welcomed a new solo artist to the burgeoning roster; James Vincent McMorrow. The Irishman has left his home country, Europe and the USA breathless with his aching honesty. Now we're very pleased to be bringing his internationally-acclaimed album to Australia.

“Sounds both fresh and as if they’ve been in your head forever…McMorrow’s debut deserves its success.” – Q Magazine

“A captivating debut… An arresting journey from emotional trials to aural pleasure.” – Uncut â˜…â˜…â˜…â˜…

“Gorgeous…a similar beauty to James Blake’s current hit.” – NME

“There’s a world of mystery in the mesmerizing voice of this Irishman… make’s ‘11’s best debut” – People Magazine

The self-recorded and self-played debut “Early In The Morning” is filled with beguiling and vivid stories; fables that move from a whisper in your ear to a mountainous crescendo in the space of a song. The stunning collection of songs were recorded over five months in an isolated house by the Irish sea.

You could be forgiven for mistaking James Vincent McMorrow’s influences as other masters of his genre, when in fact James takes his cues from some literary figureheads. It is the inspiration rooted in the likes of John Steinbeck, F Scott Fitzgerald or Roald Dahl that drove his writing. Drawing on his childhood love and fascination of these authors, it’s their take on the darker aspects of life that motivates James.

Having reached #1 in the Ireland album charts, James has gone on to play extensive dates across America and Europe, including a spot on the Glastonbury bill last year. He will be making his maiden journey to Australia in April when he will play at the coastal Easter festival Bluesfest. There are whispers of a few other special Australian shows in his sights also.

James Vincent McMorrow's internationally commended debut album “Early In The Morning” will be out via Dew Process on 2 March 2012.
