“The magic of this group has always been their ability to turn the elemental into the transcendental. It is a miracle they pull off frequently on 'My Morning Jacket',
with confidence and inspiration, every moment a fresh beginning.”
– MOJO (4 stars)
My Morning Jacket’s new self-titled album is out today via ATO Records on two vinyl configurations: 2xLP Clear Vinyl featuring a gatefold jacket with artwork by Robert Beatty, custom inner-sleeves with lyrics, and digital download; and 2xLP 180-Gram Deluxe Colored Vinyl featuring cloudy blue and cloudy orange colored vinyl, deluxe foil gatefold jacket with artwork by Robert Beatty, 24” x 24” circular fold-out poster, custom inner-sleeves with lyrics, and digital download. It is available digitally and on CD as well.
To celebrate the release of the album, My Morning Jacket is offering a free live webcast of their tour leg opening show on Friday, October 29 from the Alabama Theater starting at 9:15pm ET via Nugs, My Morning Jacket's Facebook Page, and YouTube. The band's Late Show with Stephen Colbert performance will also be airing on Friday, October 29.
MY MORNING JACKET is the band’s 9th studio album and reaffirms the rarefied magic that’s made My Morning Jacket so beloved, embedding every groove with moments of discovery, revelation, and ecstatic catharsis. Produced and engineered by James over two multi-week sessions at Los Angeles, CA’s 64 Sound, the album came to life after what looked like a permanent hiatus for the band. But after performing four shows in summer 2019 – beginning with two mind-blowing nights at Red Rocks Amphitheatre – My Morning Jacket was overcome with the urge to carry on. That sense of purpose can be heard throughout the thrillingly expansive MY MORNING JACKET. For all its unbridled joy, songs like the album-opening song “Regularly Scheduled Programming” and the otherworldly, closing “I Never Could Get Enough” once again reveal My Morning Jacket’s hunger for exploring the most nuanced and layered existential questions in song form while simultaneously harnessing the hypnotic intensity of their legendary live show more fully than ever before.
MY MORNING JACKET was initially heralded by “Regularly Scheduled Programming,” as well as its first single, “Love Love Love.” Official music videos are streaming now at YouTube. Last month, the band performed “Regularly Scheduled Programming” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Last week, they released “Complex,” one of the most frenetic offerings on the album, bringing a shred-heavy urgency to James’s self-reflection.
