NEW ALBUM IS IN MASTERING PROCESS + WAS PRODUCED BY BRENDAN O'BRIEN

[Lonndown27]

Breaking news from Lonn Phillips Sullivan: Jim James just announced at Park City Song Summit that My Morning Jacket recorded 15 songs with Brendan O'Brien. 10 were used, 3 bonus tracks. Jim kept calling him a coach. It's being mastered right now.

You da man Lon, dig the news and hope you have a great show !!!

[Lonndown27]

He said they felt like they were a member of the Chicago bulls with Brendan as the coach 
Made sure they had the songs for this one.
Something special coming tonight
We're geared up.
An hour and some change and they'll be playing

[Cameron]

That's badass news!

[Lonndown27]

Jim said a lot of eye opening stuff. Him and Danny Clinch were brilliant.
Show about to start will have more

[Lonndown27]

Really can't believe the entire jacket community has kinda ignored this news from Jim in Park City.
This is huge news. Album is imminent, most likely October. Winter tour most likely.
Let's fucking go

Dood, couldnt possibly be more excited....

LETS GOOOOOOO            

I'm getting some "John Leckie- Z" vibes from Brendan O'Brien helping so much, I think they needed some direction, especially with song quality. They can produce such magic and I'm glad a true producer was able to hopefully get it out of them because it's there. Jim can still write masterpieces.

Be my Mountain isn't one of em....

I thought Jim said in another interview that album would be coming out early 2025, but i may be wrong.

You are correct

[ChiefOKONO]

HELL YES!! Amazing news!!  Thank you!

[Lucius]

Unless they're doing a Beyoncé and dropping a surprise album I feel like we'd know about it already if an album was coming in October (basing this on current trends rather than any previous Jacket roll-outs) My money is on early next year, maybe even spring. Maybe we might get the announcement and first single this side of Christmas though...

Looked through O'Briens credits... some stuff I like, nothing I love. The band sound incredibly optimistic from what I've seen though so that's promising! 

I'm 1000% ready for new Jacket tunez. Keeping my fingers crossed also for more European love. I don't know if the last Europe run was a roaring success for them but I live in hope!

[Cameron]

Nothing you love? Really? Man, I love so many records he worked on. PJ, STP, RATM, Black Crowes, RHCP, Jayhawks, Neil, Bruce...not many with a better resume.

No doubt some great stuff there loved by millions, just not my ballpark of music. Jacket themselves are somewhat of an anomaly in my music taste. I'm not doubting his credentials for a moment though, and the bands enthusiasm for this record is already contagious!

Let's pray this is a one-off single for a voting compilation.

Yeahhh not a fan of this one...

[MMJTX]

agreed, i love jim's positivity and speaking out but when the majority of their songs are now all about it it's getting a little stale to me. Seems like an easy way out of songwriting

Yup exactly. Just kinda tired of the preachy stuff. I'm totally on Jim's side in worldview, politics, etc, but these songs are just unoriginal and getting kinda old. Hope the new album has songs that explore other topics.

[Nikkogino]

It's getting to the point where I could write an MMJ song.  Instead of making songs with generic "let's all get together and love" messages that are just vehicles for live jam sessions, I want some songs that actually make me feel something...not tell me to feel something.  Self titled had a few great tunes, but if this is indicative of what album 10 will be, I'm worried.
