James Vincent McMorrow - True Care

From its cinematic opening lyric � December 2914 / I still don't understand a thing � James Vincent McMorrow's 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 year's 'We Move' for the first time today, James Vincent McMorrow says: Life is long. But then, it isn't really. Since I've been making records it's been about following a cycle. Make a record. Wait. Release a record. Play for 18 months. Take a�break. I don't really understand that cycle any more. I want to make records when I'm compelled to, and I want to release them when they're still as fresh to me as they are to�whomever is hearing them for the first time. The idea of sitting around waiting doesn't 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 I'll 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.�
