James Vincent McMorrow’s Post-Tropical came out in January and the dude has been in a constant touring grind since then. The musician has been keeping busy though, and he’s just released a new track for a free download called ‘When I Leave’ which he says:

“When I was in college I’d go out a lot, but I wasn’t the guy that was the centre of everyone’s attention, I was usually standing awkwardly in the corner. But just because you’re standing in the corner doesn’t mean you don’t love to dance. That’s what this song is about I guess, dance like no one’s watching.”

He also says the songs he has recorded aren’t polished but they are “snapshots” of the songwriting process. The song has a bit of an electronic R&B vibe to its instrumentation. McMorrow is playing EP this weekend of course.

James Vincent McMorrow – ‘When I Leave’

I’ve been recording when I can over the summer, on the floors of festival dressing rooms, in hotels, I’ve been waiting for everyone to fall asleep so I can track vocals in the back lounge of the bus. Making Post Tropical definitely lit a fire. There’s no plan for any of it, I have an album in the world and it is rightfully taking up a lot of my energy, but I’ve plenty energy to go around, I’d like to start putting out some ideas while the ink is still wet, I want people to hear them, to know what they are when we play them live during the autumn Euro and US tours.

Disclaimer, They’re not polished, nothing recorded on the road ever could be, a lot of time spent removing crazy back ground sounds from vocals etc. That’s the point though I guess, snapshots.
