“October 4 is the 20th anniversary of our album Z. It’s pretty wild to think about that,” says My Morning Jacket’s Jim James. “To celebrate 2 decades of it being out in the ether, we’re excited to be turning 5 of our shows into special Z anniversary shows, where we’ll play that album (and some other songs, don’t worry) front to back.”
Named by Rolling Stone among “The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time,” Z proved an immediate milestone for My Morning Jacket upon its October 2005 release, earning worldwide critical applause for its ambitious fusion of sonic approaches, musical styles, and expressive songcraft. This year has seen My Morning Jacket continuing on its ever-evolving creative journey with their 10th studio album and first full-length new collection in more than three years, is, available everywhere now via ATO Records. Produced by 3x GRAMMY® Award-winner Brendan O’Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam), the album is sees the Louisville, KY-bred five-piece – vocalist/guitarist Jim James, bassist Tom Blankenship, guitarist Carl Broemel, drummer Patrick Hallahan, keyboardist Bo Koster – once again expanding the limits of their sound and elevating their artistry to unprecedented heights. Songs like the ravishing lead single, “Time Waited,” the larger-than-life anthem “Half A Lifetime” and the psychedelically propulsive “Squid Ink” represent some of the most masterfully realized work yet from a band fully committed to their belief in music as a conduit for revelation of all kinds.
