My Morning Jacket
Come to a concert experience where Southern rock and psychedelic surrealism happily co-exist, come to the world of My Morning Jacket.
The stellar live band from Louisville, Kentucky will hit Australia next April for two very special shows in Sydney and Melbourne as well as playing Byron Bay’s Bluesfest. Performing songs from their vast array of tunes including this years acclaimed “Circuital”, the five piece machine lead by the enigmatic Jim James, is sure to make it one April to remember. Last here in 2009 where the band hit the Big Day Out circuit, killed it at their own headline shows and supported some guy called Neil Young around the country, new and old fans alike will rejoice to the sounds of James, Blackenship, Hallahan, Broemel and Koster and their legendary live outings.
My Morning Jacket formed in the most organic fashion imaginable: friends who’d known each other since childhood making music in a shack located on a farm in Shelbyville, Kentucky. Their fame grew by word of mouth. Early albums such as “The Tennessee Fire”, “At Dawn” and “It Still Moves” – recorded on the farm, Jim James’s vocals bathed in the glorious natural reverb of the disused grain silo in which he recorded them – seduced critics and fans with their ethereal psychedelia and exultant rock crescendos. These early albums arguably coined the cosmic Americana currently purveyed by Fleet Foxes and a generation of similarly starry-eyed indie rockers. Locally with the Spunk released “greatest hits” EP, “Sweatbees” garnered from the first two records and early eps alerted those in the know in Australia to the magic on hand with the Jacket. In 2005’s the band released “Z”, largely abandoning their trademark sounds, along with the studio on the farm and its magical grain silo. Jim James put down the guitar, writing much of the new album on keyboards and a bizarre 80s synthesiser called the Omnichord. Recorded in a mansion with Stone Roses producer John Leckie, “Z” dialled back the classic rock aura of the Jacket’s earlier albums, drawing magic from soulful reveries, spectral fairground themes, and even that eternal critical bete noir, rock-reggae.
