Description
From its cinematic opening lyric December 2914 / I still dont understand a thing James Vincent McMorrows fourth album, True Care, is a futuristic mix of introspection, memory, and piercing honesty.
Speaking on True Care and its swift follow-up to last years We Move for the first time today, James Vincent McMorrow says: Life is long. But then, it isnt really. Since Ive been making records its been about following a cycle. Make a record. Wait. Release a record. Play for 18 months. Take a break. I dont really understand that cycle any more. I want to make records when Im compelled to, and I want to release them when theyre still as fresh to me as they are to whomever is hearing them for the first time. The idea of sitting around waiting doesnt make sense to me.
I had an idea fixed in my head since the second I stopped making We Move. This idea of a very real now, and a very vague future. I had this date, December 2914, which I was writing towards. Not in a specific, what will it be like in the future kind of way. I just wanted to fix a point way out there, so far away that Ill never see it, and use it as an anchor point to start writing about my life now, remembering my life before now, and the complete abstraction that is my life in the future.
