Ahead of the release of his fifth album Grapefruit Season in September, James Vincent McMorrow joins the show to talk about a new project he's been working on called Co-Living Culture with David Anthony Curley (Otherkin - RIP) and Cody Lee. Recorded at David's studio The Clinic, their first song 'Renegador' is an ode to the venues in Dublin, many of which are now gone, where you might hear a record like this. They say: "This song is meant as a love letter to that idea. It's a love letter to the pure unbridled joy that only music can bring, to dance culture, to 90's house music, to flicking through stations in the car as a kid until an absolute banger comes on, and then turning it all the way up so everyone on the street could hear what you were playing, could hear what the music said about you." So James discusses these ideas, how the song was conceived around the same time as it was announced that Jigsaw was to close, the resilience of musicians, hopes/fears for the city centre, and what might be next for the Co-Living Culture project. We also chat about his pilot gig at Iveagh Gardens recently, his forthcoming album, and the NBA Finals.
