James Vincent McMorrow performing a track from the excellent album “Post Tropical” in Canada “Red Dust” taken from the Irish songwriter’s second album, is ambiguous and at times unsettling – just like the song.
McMorrow’s music througout the song increases the tension. He sings in a choir-like falsetto, extending words so they are more strands of notes then words. his deliverance is broken apart and filtered, so they only reference their origins. With McMorrow’s ghostly voice the song results in a strange, brooding version.
