WATCH “REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING”
PRE-ORDER MY MORNING JACKET
“This song really hits home for me after what we’ve gone through with the pandemic,” says My Morning Jacket’s frontman Jim James, in a prepared statement about the release of “Regularly Scheduled Programming.”
“But even before then, it felt like so many of us were trading real life for social media, trading our own stories for the storylines on TV, trading our consciousness for drugs. We need to help each other wake up to real love before it's too late."
The band’s first new music since 2015’s GRAMMY® Award-nominated THE WATERFALL, MY MORNING JACKET was produced and engineered by James over two multi-week sessions at Los Angeles, CA’s 64 Sound. It followed what looked like a permanent hiatus. But after performing four shows in summer 2019 – beginning with two nights at Red Rocks Amphitheatre – My Morning Jacket decided to carry on as a recording entity.
“I hope this album brings people a lot of joy and relief, especially since we’ve all been cooped up for so long,” says James. “I know that feeling you get from driving around blasting music you love, or even lying in bed and crying to the music you love. The fact that we’re able to be a part of people’s lives in that way is so magical to us, and it feels really good that we’re still around to keep doing that.”
MY MORNING JACKET, the album, will be available on CD as well as 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.
