It's no secret that I'm a big fan of James Vincent McMorrow (I've already spoken about my love for his first album in this post) so safe to say when he graced the world with his follow-up, Post Tropical, I was more than a little bit excited. Since then, I've been listening to it pretty much non-stop; it's been promoted to my 'getting ready in the morning music' slot, which is always a privilege because those precious 15 minutes don't go to just anybody. In some ways, it's a bit of a departure from Early in the Morning, less folk-heavy and slightly electronic in places but at the same time still underpinned by his signature falsetto that gets me every time. It has a little bit of an experimental, James Blake kind of feel about it, but with the added checkered shirts and facial hair of the JVM we all grew to know. It's seriously good stuff and I think, however bold this may be, that I might love it even more than his debut. Yep, I said it.
Top tracks: Cavalier, Red Dust, Gold, Repeating.
