Circuital

Nearly three years since their last release, My Morning Jacket are now on the cusp of releasing the eagerly awaited new album, Circuital. The band has been gearing it all up by releasing songs from each of their five Terminal 5 shows this past October. Circuital is the first album the group have made in Kentucky since It Still Moves, recording it in the gymnasium of a Louisville church under the aegis of producer Tucker Martine (The Decemberists, Laura Veirs).

At the groups insis-tence, the album was recorded live, with few overdubs; Jim James vocals were recorded at the same time as the bands performances. The new album fits somewhere between the questing creative impulses of previous album Evil Urges and the more familiar feel of My Morning Jacket’s earlier work, with the single "Holding On To Black Metal" very indicative of the sound.
