James Vincent McMorrow has confirmed the release of ‘We Move: Early Recordings and Alternate Versions'. The album features never-before-heard demos and alternate versions of each track off this year’s ‘We Move,’ and it will also be available exclusively in a deluxe physical boxset, limited to 500 hand-numbered units, which combines the original ‘We Move’ album on both CD & coloured vinyl with a bonus coloured LP of ‘We Move: Early Recordings and Alternate Versions,’ and a reproduction of his notebook where he handwrote the original lyrics and compositions to the songs. Released on November 25th.

McMorrow explains: "While I was working on ‘We Move,’ the whole time I kept track of where the songs began, with the intention of putting something together that would serve as a separate artifact as to how it all came together. That's what this version is. Not solo versions, but alternate versions and initial ideas. They’re raw, plain spoken, unadulterated, so that people could listen and hear the songs at the core of the production, the initial idea, the initial thought. Then when they listen to the full album, my hope is that they'll have a little more insight into what it means to make a record like this, the journey it can take."

James has also shared a solo live performance of ‘We Move’ highlight “Get Low,” filmed in Los Angeles earlier this year. Watch here and feel free to post!

‘We Move’ earned rave reviews everywhere from Pitchfork, Pigeons & Planes, NPR Music, FADER and more. Produced by Nineteen85 (Drake, dvsn), Two Inch Punch (Sam Smith, Years & Years) and Frank Dukes (Kanye West, Rihanna), the album has proved a historic success for McMorrow, landing at #1 in his home country of Ireland.
