James Vincent McMorrow’s musical life began far removed from the haunting folk and mythic imagery of his debut output. Rather, his early love was hardcore rock, and he spent his teens learning to play drums to the likes of Refused, At The Drive In and Glassjaw. James’ tastes soon broadened to envelop the likes of Crosby, Stills and Nash, and though he remembers an Irish upbringing where late-night singalongs were the norm, it wasn’t until he heard Donny Hathaway’s I Love You More Than You Will Ever Know that he even considered singing.
