James Vincent McMorrow - Glacier

In our last day of a four-day indie adventure, we take a look at something with a good hit of folk.  This time, we're back to our good old friend James Vincent McMorrow, a.k.a the guy that you keep mistaking for Bon Iver.  "Glacier," off of his new album Post Tropical, was free on Itunes a few weeks ago, and it's about time they improve their quality again.  It's great piano folk, with a lovely modern sound that doesn't leave it too far in the late-2000's sound era.  As always, James sounds flawless, and I'm still going to say that he's better than Bon Iver (who is still good in his own right, but sometimes it's hard not to compare them).  "Glacier" isn't any catchy pop ballad, but something magical that grows on you more with each listen, and I can never say anything bad about a song making use of the orchestra.  Get on it!
