Dubliner James Vincent McMorrow will perform at Webster Hall on November 7th.

McMorrow has just released his new LP - 'We Move' - out September 2nd via Caroline Records. The follow-up to 2013's acclaimed 'Post Tropical' marks a breathtaking and radical sonic shift for the Irish artist, in what is his most expansive, generous, and ambitious work to date. The 10-song collection features production from Nineteen85 (Drake, dvsn), Two Inch Punch (Sam Smith, Years & Years), and Frank Dukes (Kanye West, Rihanna), as well as mixing from the legendary Jimmy Douglass (Donny Hathaway, Timbaland).

Unlike his previous releases, 'We Move' was written in constant transition. McMorrow decamped to Los Angeles in late-2014 for six particularly fish-out-of-water months, where the new songs began to crystallize. He then recorded between Toronto, his home city of Dublin, and London over the course of roughly the next year. The album's backbone was formed in each of these places by a few key producers that McMorrow met during his travels, who were able to finesse the record's warm, vintage yet forward-thinking feel. The result is an album about movement - geographically, mentally, and emotionally. Far from the dense, protective imagery at the heart of 'Post Tropical', 'We Move' is McMorrow's most honest statement yet, touching on anxiety and social unease.

This fall, McMorrow will head out on a full band headline North American tour, playing his biggest venues to date. Visit JAMESVMCMORROW.COM for more.
