Album is No.1 on the Billboard Vinyl Chart
My Morning Jacket’s self-titled ninth studio album is No. 1 on the Billboard Vinyl Chart in its debut week. The album also debuts at No. 3 on the Billboard Rock Albums and No. 3 on Billboard Independent Albums.
My Morning Jacket is the band’s first new album in six years. Produced and engineered by frontman Jim 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.
The band is also in the midst of its first headlining tour in six years. Upcoming performances include a stop in St. Louis tonight (Tues, Nov 2nd), a multi-night-stand at Chicago, IL’s Auditorium Theatre (November 4-6), and a strong closeout to 2021 for a New Year’s run at Denver, CO’s Mission Ballroom (December 29-31). The band also has 2022 dates rolling in with a stop at Innings Festival in Tempe, AZ on February 27th and Moon Crush in Miramar Beach, FL from April 21-24.
My Morning Jacket has also announced the eagerly anticipated return of One Big Holiday, an all-inclusive concert vacation set for March 2-5, 2022 at The Moon Palace Cancún resort in Riviera Cancún, Mexico. Presented in partnership with CID Presents, The fourth iteration of One Big Holiday will see My Morning Jacket performing three nights at a one-of-a-kind beachfront concert venue specially reimagined for the event.
