MMJ Slots Album, Radio City Show For June
January 15, 2008, 11:30 AM ET
Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
My Morning Jacket has set a June 10 release date for its as-yet-untitled new ATO album, and will celebrate the project with a June 20 show at New York's Radio City Music Hall.
The group's first appearance at the storied venue will be "an evening with," and is being billed as MMJ's only New York-area appearance for the time being.
As previously reported, for the first time since 2002, the band will be on hand for the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, where it will play a March 13 show at Austin Music Hall. Frontman Jim James will also play a March 15 solo gig at Austin's St. David's Church.
In addition, the band will join indie stalwarts Yo La Tengo for a March 10 SXSW warm-up at Houston's Verizon Wireless Theatre.
MMJ decamped to New York to record the follow-up to 2005's acclaimed "Z," which has sold 206,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
"We're seeing every song to its end before we think about sequencing or which songs belong," guitarist Carl Broemel tells Billboard of sessions with producer/engineer Joe Chiccarelli that wrapped in early December. "We're just starting to be open to how they relate. In general, the record is different in a way I don't even think any of us realized until we started recording."
To prepare, band members spent a month together in a Colorado compound, doing nothing but work on new songs. "That was priceless, because we don't all live in the same city," Broemel says. "We just got together and played."

2nd Semester has never seemed so long. >:(
Let me be the first to say it... I would like an advanced copy so that I can host another listening party.
What can you vets tell me about Joe Chiccarelli?
That was the first I heard the engineer's name for this project.
This & the NY show is very exciting news. If a summer tour is announced before I finalise my vacation plans there's a good chance I might get to see the boys live again this summer!

Worked for/with White Stripes, Shins, and Brian Wilson.
Woo-hoo.....can't wait to hear the new album!
June 10? 8-) Awesome news. I just wish they'd come to Australia.

I sure Ali does too. Anybody know where she's been?
YESSSSSS!!!! I am totally psyched!!!
My internet finally starts working again and this is what I learn! Hooray!
I'm predicting a mid-May leak.
QuoteI'm predicting a mid-May leak.
Then I shall have to take a break round about then before the inevitable 'Is It OK To Download Leaks?' debate kicks in & gets nasty again ;)
Maybe it will be like Z and be streamed in full on Myspace before it comes out. I can say all I want that I'll wait until its released to listen to it, but I know the first chance I get, be it a stream online or a leak or whatever, I'll be listening to it. Then buying it the day it comes out.

umm... that didn't happen with Z. at least to my recollection.
db, there definitely was a debate last time about whether or not it was ok to DL the leaked version, which was complicated later by the spyware that the released copies of Z put of our computers. Should be fun again this time around. Maybe conaway will even make an appearance. ;D
Let me go ahead and preemptively defend myself by saying I have bought at least 5 copies of each major album they have released, between gifts, replacement copies, vinyls, etc. and I'm sure this album will be no different. So I'm not stealing the music I'm only previewing it before the record company says it's okay for the masses to consume it.

i concure with AMD....i've bought so many copies of the albums whether its on iTunes, CDs, vinyls, extra vinyls to frame, etc....so i will definitely listen to a leaked version or dowonload a leaked version if it becomes available!

Hmm... I wonder what I'm thinking of... it may have been a broadcast on NPR or something. I guess I'll just retract my previous statement.

Some songs were on the band's MySpace band, but I don't recall the entire album ever being streamed. I don't think they've ever had anymore than four or five songs on their myspace at any given time.
You may have heard the entire album played via Sirius or XM radio - I know there are several stations that play an album front to back without stops. The band also did a live performance on a radio show that was very, very close to studio quality, and consisted entirely of Z songs, in order, too, I think... It may have been KCRW... but if I recall that was after the album was released.

Wordless Chorus & Off The Record could be streamed on the website here before Z was released along the the 'sneaky peak' video.
I don't think I even knew what myspace was a couple of years ago ;)
I have been away from the boards during the 'off season,' but this is unconditionally brilliant news.
Can anyone say
SUMMER TOUR
As a professor, with summers off, it is going to be horribly tempting to just
GO ON THE FUCKING ROAD]
with this genius band.
Praise Jim!!
Of course the NY date does not conflict with Bonnaroo.
I predict the Saturday midnight Which Stage slot that the Lips had last year.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i just got a little shiver at that idea!
as for the release date: HELL. YES!
dancing with new mmj in shorts. fucking awesome!!

wondering if there will be omnichord on the new album......?
It's awesome watching him play it but I'd rather see some theremin on the next record. Please get Scott (Wax Fang) to go off on one of the new songs! :)
