Richard James, Pictures in the Morning

With songs as gentle as the rolling hills, metronomic fingerpicking and lyrics that mix storybook simplicity with heartbreaking sadness, Pictures In The Morning is the latest album from Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci co-founder Richard James.

Richard’s first solo album, The Seven Sleeper’s Den, was a slow burning collection of love songs and instrumentals sung in English and occasionally Welsh. Somebody said it sounded like the Velvet Underground with the ratio of New Yorkers to Welsh people reversed, and they weren’t far wrong. The follow-up, We Went Riding, presented a more multi-layered, poptastic facet of Richard’s songwriting: “Brilliantly constructed pop gems,” in the words of MOJO magazine. The latest album is a return to quieter, more intimate music. “We Went Riding was fairly densely produced,” says Richard. “This time I recorded most of it live then put a few overdubs on. I wanted to keep space in the songs and through the album.”
