My Morning Jacket Announce New Album The Waterfall, Share “Big Decisions”
My Morning Jacket have announced the release of The Waterfall, their first studio album since 2011′s Circuital. That’s the cover above, and it’s out on May 4 via ATO. They’ve also shared “Big Decisions”, the album’s first single. Listen to it below.
The Waterfall was recorded with Tucker Martine (who also worked on Circuital). In a press release, frontman Jim James talked about the album’s themes:
What fused this record is, I feel like it’s a weird turning point for the universe. I feel like so many people I know are getting divorced or having kids. There’s so much change going on and I feel like, for me, that one chapter has ended. And if you’re looking at a book, there’s a hand flipping the page up and it’s in between the chapter you just finished and the one that’s getting ready to start. That’s kind of the sound of this record, and my life, the sound of the page turning and not being sure what’s coming next.
The band will also begin a world tour in May. Check out their schedule below.
