James Vincent McMorrow – We Move

This album is not hard to listen to.

No, its not difficult to take in this tribute to the anxious feelings that many feel but have trouble speaking about. It’s not unpleasant to swirl these ideas around when they are accompanied by the soothing tones of James Vincent McMorrow. The regulated beats, and accessible structure combine in musical flow, tranquil and moving.

This album gives a voice to the thoughts that sometimes stop us from doing things. Ranging from the things we want most to taking care of oneself day to day. It gives a measured voice, that does not alarm its listeners.

It is good to be able to contemplate this in relative comfort, to answer anxiety with calm, to flow into this album when those feelings come around. ‘We Move’ is a balm for agitation, a slow pull back to feeling okay. (SP)
