After secluding himself in a house by the sea on the Irish coast for five months, James Vincent McMorrow emerged with an engaging debut album. "Early in the Morning" was entirely self-written, self-played, and self-produced and it's pretty impressive stuff for a first timer. Featuring dark lyrical imagery and rich instrumentation, "Early in the Morning" often evokes images of isolation and solitude. Rebecca RuthDIANE BIRCH
