NEW STUDIO ALBUM, MY MORNING JACKET ARRIVES OCT 22

“The band is on the brink of a massive third act…
With the return of live music and a desperate need for reverie, there’s
no one better to lead the rock revival than My Morning Jacket.”
– Consequence

FIRST U.S. HEADLINE TOUR IN SIX YEARS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY

LIVESTREAM FROM LAST WEEKEND’S FOREST HILLS STADIUM AVAILABLE THROUGH SEPTEMBER 18 VIA NUGS.NET

“LOVE LOVE LOVE” IMPACTS COMMERCIAL AAA SEPT 20

“LOVE LOVE LOVE” FEATURED IN FIFA 2022, OUT OCT 1

Today My Morning Jacket share the first single from their self-titled ninth studio album. “Love Love Love” is available now at all DSPs and streaming services; a mesmerizing official music video directed by George Mays with animation by Mero premieres today via YouTube.

“‘Love Love Love’ is trying to steer the ship away from everything I’m talking about in ‘Regularly Scheduled Programming,’ and speak toward positivity and pure love, finding truth within yourself and in the world around you,” says My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James.

MY MORNING JACKET was first heralded last month by the album’s first song, “Regularly Scheduled Programming,” available now at all DSPs and streaming services; an official music video – co-directed by James and George Mays – is streaming now at YouTube.

WATCH “REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING”

The band’s first new music since 2015’s GRAMMY® Award-nominated THE WATERFALL, MY MORNING JACKET 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 “Regularly Scheduled Programming” and the otherworldly, album-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.

“‘Regularly Scheduled Programming’ starts with a swooning intro but soon settles into a sprightly beat that builds to a rich, chaotic and ultimately cathartic conclusion. The song finds frontman Jim James contending with the trappings of modernity: ‘Programming to drown out how we feel,’ he sings, ‘Fresh fiction, rewriting how we think/Screen time addiction, replacing real life and love/Erasing forgiveness/Bow down to your overlords.’ The song arrives with a music video, directed by James and George Mays, that complements the song’s message.”
– ROLLING STONE

“‘Regularly Scheduled Programming’ finds the band fed up with the internet age and the endless, numbing state of distraction it’s foisted upon us all…the antidote to our increasingly Black Mirror-esque reality.”
– PASTE

“Rather than being a metacommentary on their career path, though, the new single and its video address the ubiquity of screen time—a once-urban concept that’s now bled into the rurality of MMJ’s alt-country sound.”
– FLOOD

On ‘Regularly Scheduled Programming,’ MMJ have returned. Circuiting the more stagnant human state of digital ‘reality,’ the electrified riffs reveal all the virtual vexes of ‘Screen time addiction replacing real life and love/Erasing forgiveness/Bow down to your overloads,’ and is visually marked in the featured video,
co-directed by MMJ vocalist Jim James and George Mays.”
– AMERICAN SONGWRITER

“The six-year wait for a real deal, full-fledged new My Morning Jacket album
is about to end…”
– STEREOGUM

The band invited fans everywhere to join them this past weekend at the iconic Forest Hills Stadium, for a livestream exclusively via Nugs.net. Consequence raved about the show, saying, “this next phase of MMJ is going to be a special one. The new material sounds like some of their best since Evil Urges, the band feels rejuvenated, and Jim James feels more centered than he has in years. This is all building to one massive next year for this group…” Fans can experience this show until 11:59pm on September 18.
