The Story
Impressed is partnering with Burning Rope Records & Faction Records to bring you an exclusive Australian pressing of James Vincent McMorrow's debut album - Early in the Morning, celebrating it’s 15th anniversary and his forthcoming tour.
Originally released in 2010, and recorded in isolation at a house on the Irish coast, James Vincent McMorrow produced every sound on the album himself, including piano, guitar, and drums - resulted in an album that captivated the world.
The album quickly garnered critical acclaim for its warmth and intimacy. Critics highlighted McMorrow's soft falsetto and the Americana/Folk influences present in the tracks. The opening song, If I Had a Boat, begins with a cappella harmonies before developing into a reflective ballad, illustrating the album’s understated style.
James Vincent McMorrow will be touring Australia this June for the first time since 2017. He'll be hitting Sydney on the 3rd June, Melbourne on the 5th June (Early In The Morning - Anniversary Show) and Brisbane on 7th June 2025.
We're excited to press this 15th Anniversary re-issue of Early in the Morning to limited edition heavyweight sand and black marble vinyl. Strictly limited to 200 copies, and individually numbered with our signature obi strip.
Track list:
A1 If I Had A Boat
A2 Hear the Noise That Moves So Soft and Low
A3 Sparrow & Wolf
A4 Breaking Hearts
A5 We Don't Eat
B1 This Old Dark Machine
B2 Follow You Down To The Red Oak Tree
