JJ on T5 + new album - article

[SaraBananaBear]

James, Broemel, Koster, bassist "Two Tone" Tommy Blankenship and drummer Patrick Hallahan will use the "Evil Urges" show — teasingly billed as "Evil Urges and Beyond" — t[highlight]o air new material that will be released on their sixth full-length[/highlight]. For the first time, James chose to make the album in his hometown. Staying in Louisville has provided its own comforts, and its own surprises, too.

"It's been wild," says the frontman. "We've never done one in the 'Ville before. It's been great, and it's given us a different take on the town as well. We're in a classic gymnasium, recording all live and bonding in the heat and in the absence of technology. No computers, no AC. Just us and God. God and us, I should say."

This article makes me feel better about only being able to attend the last night of T5.  Each night has a lot to offer we fans, but a slate of new material beyond Circuital will be special.

yesssssssss

James points out that the lineup that made the first two albums isn't the same as the one that currently plays under the My Morning Jacket name. Multi-instrumentalist Carl Broemel and synthesizer player Bo Koster have toughened the band's approach and expanded its sonic palette. Their presence won't turn the early material inside out, but it virtually guarantees new discoveries for concertgoers.

this is going to be SO interesting !!!!

I feel your pain Sara. We'll just have to wallow in our misery for that whole week waiting for setlists and bootlegs etc.
