7. James Vincent McMorrow


7. James Vincent McMorrow - Post Tropical

This is one of the most beautiful albums I have ever heard. An Irish born singer/songwriter, this is his second album. It is a piece of art in my opinion. While definitely his own style, I hear a lot of Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver influence in this. His voice is remarkable, his lyrics are sullen and the orchestration and composition are bombastic. His voice sends chills down your spine and the weight of the music is immense. Check out the video for 'Red Dust' below, incredibly intense. I could not find an embeddable copy of my favorite song on the album, so I will use that in my recap.
