Artist of the Week: My Morning Jacket
June 7th, 2008, 5:13 pm · Post a Comment · posted by Jaime Galvan
My Morning Jacket returns this week with their fifth studio album, “Evil Urges.”
My Morning Jacket has always been a favorite of ours since we first heard “Death Is a Sleazy Pay” on a sampler from Uncut Magazine back in 2001.
“Urges” is the Kentucky quartet’s follow-up to 2005’s critically-acclaimed “Z.”
While the band’s first three studio albums were recorded in the group’s own studio in Louisville, “Urges” was recorded at the Avatar Studios in Manhattan, New York as a way to help get the band out of its comfort zone according to the band’s Web site.
“We wanted to deliberately try to make ourselves uncomfortable and shake it up,” says Jim James, frontman for My Morning Jacket. “I feel like New York is just limitless possibility—you never knew what you’d see on the way to the studio, every morning was an adventure.”
