James Vincent McMorrow is pleased to announce the release of his debut full-length, Early In The Morning , which will be made available in the US for the first time this winter. After having self-released the album in Ireland, James and Vagrant Records have come together in an effort to disclose some of the most honest music the genre has seen in years. Self-recorded over five months in a secluded house by the sea, Early In The Morning is 'one of the first truly great albums of the decade' (The Dubliner). Laced with hauntingly gracious melodies, mythical story lines, and musical structures that lend themselves to the traditional folk style that emerged in the states in the 1960's, James' debut is an eleven song recollection of his journey through a particular time of change and transition.

Early In The Morning was released throughout Ireland in March 2010 and was incredibly well received. Hailed as a 'striking and alluring affair… one we’ll be reckoning with for the best of 2010,' by the Irish Times, the album landed the #1 spot on iTunes in the country and enabled James to embark on his first proper Irish tour with a sold out show in Dublin. Offers from various labels to release the album in other countries began to filter in but when James heard Vagrant was interested he knew that was the perfect fit. “I’ve been a fan of the label since school, and getting to put out a record alongside bands like The Hold Steady, Edward Sharpe, and School Of Seven Bells is amazing.”

Early In The Morning will be made available across the US on January 25, 2011.
