Following the release of his new album, Grapefruit Season, earlier this month, our current cover star James Vincent McMorrow has returned with a brand new video for 'Planes In The Sky' – filmed on location in LA.

Having made a welcome return to the festival circuit this summer – as well as playing Ireland’s first major gig since the pandemic – the Dublin artist is set for a global run of headline tour dates beginning in 2022.

“I mean what can I say, I fucking love this song," he says of 'Planes In The Sky'. “The first day we worked on it we ended up just playing the drums bass and guitar parts over and over on a loop for about 2 hours. I guess some people would call it… jamming?? The easy part is coming up with a groove like this, the hard part is writing an actual song around it that does it justice and isn’t just aimless drifting alongside the track. It took me about a year to crack it, I think it all works in harmony, I hope it does to others. You can pay attention to the lyric and the chorus grabs you but it doesn’t get in the way of the groove. Lyrically it’s about what so many of the songs on the record are about, not missing moments.”

Take a look at the video, directed by NAVS, below:
