My Morning Jacket — Is

"Summer Sky" colored vinyl

Custom inner sleeve and 4-page insert included

For more than 25 years, My Morning Jacket have achieved an incredibly rare feat in rock 'n' roll, upholding a long-
established cultural legacy while sustaining the curiosity and creative hunger of their earliest days. For their 10th studio album, the band teamed up with Grammy Award-winning producer Brendan O'Brien (Springsteen, PearlJam) for what may be their most masterfully realized work yet, once again expanding the limits of their sound while elevating their artistry to unprecedented heights. Available on "Summer Sky" color vinyl with custom inner sleeve and 4-page insert.

"Up until now I've never been able to let go and allow someone else to steer the ship," frontman Jim James said. "It almost felt like an out-of-body experience to step back and give control over to someone who's far more accomplished and made so many more records than us, but in the end I was able to enjoy the process maybe more than I ever have before."

As for the songs themselves, they were forged in two "exploratory" writing sessions, and "came into existence out of an attempt to connect with something beyond the human experiment," according to James.

The single, "Time Waited," reflects that, starting with a meditative piano loop before blossoming into an anthemic indie rock arrangement, with a signature soaring Jim James vocal line on the bridge. Lyrically, James explained that it's "about how flexible time is, how we can bend and warp time, especially if we are following our hearts, the universe and time itself can flow to work with us."
