Ouroboros by Ray LaMontagne
Ouroboros is an album by Ray LaMontagne, released in 2016. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 5 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Hey, No Pressure”, on 5 lists with a best position of #21.
Ouroboros, Ray LaMontagne's sixth studio album, arrived on RCA on March 4, 2016, and it finds the New Hampshire-born singer-songwriter drifting deep into psychedelic folk rock. My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James produced it in Louisville and plays on it too, and the pairing makes sense: this is a slow-rolling, heavy-lidded trip of a record, built for headphones and long stretches of floating guitar rather than quick hits.
Critics had long compared LaMontagne to everyone from Van Morrison and Nick Drake to Pink Floyd, and here the Floyd side wins out. Lead single "Hey, No Pressure" went up online on January 20, 2016, and when he took the album on tour, the rest of My Morning Jacket, minus James, came along as his band.
