New EP

[JacketGal]

Celebración De La Ciudad Natal


hello friends. we are proud to announce and release a lil live ep that was recorded right in our very own hometown of louisville, ky. a few songs were taken from our in-store appearence at our beloved and fabled record haven "ear-x-tacy" and a few of them were taken from our concert at the fabled "waterfront park." see if you can guess which is from which. we are excited to make this a special release that you can only get at your favorite local independent record store, as now more than ever we all need to take the time to celebrate what our favorite local record stores and businesses mean to us - the value of community/human to human non- internet related physical and spiritual contact and supporting the hardworking people in your community who strive everyday to keep it unique and keep it local. we are fortunate in our travels to get to see many wonderful things, but one of the most distressing things is the increasing "normalization" of the world and how all these places are starting to look the same- everywhere you look more and more towns are starting to be filled with the same gigantic corporations, and while some of these huge companies undoubtably provide valuable services, it is so important that we realize that it is our local businesses and people (and natural landscapes, but thats a different letter) that are what make different towns worth coming to...things you can only get in one place, made and sold by people who believe in what they are doing...people who are trying to keep good weirdness alive in this crazy dome. god* bless all of you, and god* bless the world and all that kinda sh*t.

-yer pals, my morning jacket

p.s.- *the word "god*" is used here meaning anything you want it to mean and is a trademark of globo-chem worldwide.


The EP (in both CD and limited edition double 10" vinyl) will be available at finer independent retailers beginning on Record Store Day, April 18.

Any speculation on whether or not there will be some sort of concert film? Judging on the behind the scenes it looks like they can make a bad ass DVD (or Blu-Ray PLEASE!!).

It makes it sound like it's going to be available in Vinyl and CD separately, versus Vinyl with a CD copy inside......

This behind the scenes is too cool!

[twofingers]

The behind the scenes is giving me flashbacks of probably the best weekend of my life. Man, that would be swell if they came out with a full length DVD.

[Bumbeli]

Too bad there is no store anywhere near my home.
Glad to hear there's something going on and I'm sure its great

Edit: and halfway through the video, it makes me quite happy.
I want to see them live this summer. PLEASE

[Murph]

this is too cool, but do you think every record store is going to be getting this?  Should i expect to be able to pick it up at the shitty little record store we have here in Albany, NY?  :-?

[twofingers]

There is a list of stores that will have it here: http://www.recordstoreday.com/Venues

I called the one nearest to me and pre-ordered a couple of copies, so maybe give that a shot!
