I swear I remember hearing in an interview somewhere that a new studio album is to be released around late spring of 2013. Is this true, or am I remembering something else?
On a sidenote, JJ is releasing his studio album this February it seems.
I think they'll be in studio recording in Spring 2013. I'm certain that was what I read. That then led to some speculation about a release in very late 2013 or early 2014.
IIRC, the interview had one of the fellas saying they'd sat down and looked at their schedule for the upcoming year in order to book studio time in spring. Anyone have a link to that?

Yep. The plan is for the band to be back in the studio some time in May or so, right after Jim promotes his solo album.
Also I believe Jim will be doing a small tour to promote his solo album prior to jumping in the studio with the guys in Spring/13. So I guess from Springtime until who knows, the end of 2013 might be tough for us fans!

I'm not sure what to think about the potential recording and release of a new MMJ album. A fall/winter 2013 release might be optimistic.
I first got wind that Jim's solo album was finished back in January of this year! Its going to be more than a year from its completion to its release. I suppose they wanted to be done with touring so his solo effort wouldn't get lost in MMJ's shadow.
Still, I love how active the guys stay, whether supporting other musicians on the road or in the studio, or on their own. Also, let's hope they carve out some time to approve the mixing and packaging of the Terminal 5 box set!

I'm so excited to see where the guys go next with their upcoming LP. It is the most exciting release yet for me, since EU was out when my brother introduced me to them and I was not a die hard fan until after Circuital. I've seen them twice since Circuital (2011 at White River State Park, IN and at Forecastle 2012). I wish I could have seen them more by now, but I am a poor college student and MMJ doesn't make too many stops close enough to me.
The T5 box set will be so wonderful! Probably the single best musical compilation I will own. Any idea what the cost might be?

I've got no inside info on any T5 release, just speculation... and optimistic desire.
I wrote on the old new forum about what recording timelines are like. I think an early to spring 2014 release is probably most likely. Christmas 2013 sounds too tight given releases are generally released in conjunction with a steady tour.
These timelines sound about right which means no tour in 2013 but certainly Jim on the road for a few shows to promote his new album and perhaps some random appearances of the band during the year (one can hope!).
I'm going to soak up as much as I can in Port Chester and hope it carries me through the dry spell to come.

They better play in Louisville at least! I can't go a year without seeing them.

You and me both.
The thought of no live MMJ in the foreseeable future for me is devastating.
Any chance in hell for JWF3?

Of course there will, bank on it! Now, whether or not the band shows up is another question...
While it stinks to think of no Jack-Attacks for a while, I think they've been out on the circuit for a while...I'll be nice for them to get a break to make some new beautiful music, am I right?! I like to think about it not in terms of what I will be missing out on, but rather, what I am waiting for...trying to imagine it makes my head melty, mushy, and happy.
*It'll be nice...

Of course, yes. But still...
Here is the link to the original article:

By the sounds of it, 2013 will be a quiet year Jacket-wise. I've got my fingers crossed quite tightly for the T5 box to be released sometime late 2013, but other than that and the JJ solo album/tour, I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't hear much from the boys. At this point I just can't wait to hear new music! And if they've gotta go away for a whole year in order for them to create it, so be it. It will make "2014: Return of the Jacket" that much sweeter.

Priceless.
I mean, if we're getting down to brass tacs, I would like to see very show they play for the rest of their lives/my life...whichever comes first...but I would like a little new ingredients for the tasty factor...also, I really wanted to start a sentence with "getting down to brass tacs"...or is it brass tax? Or is it bra's wax? Or Cobra sax? Or Cobra Kai? Is that what the song is about? I'm pretty sure. Obviously I have a lot of thoughts to think between now and next year.
We may be due for a sophomore effort from Monsters of Folk, too.

No idea, but both Jim and M. Ward have hinted at it, seems to me.
I don't like to think of them not touring. But they have been out on the road for quite a while now and they deserve some r&r, & hopefully time to make more music. I am so glad that I saw them at the beginning of the circuital tour here in Chicago, then Forecastle and finally back in Chicago this past August. I figured they might be taking time off and I needed to have some good memories to last me until the next time I can see them.
p.s. - Hi Kelly :)
I'm pretty sure M Ward said they recorded in September. Don't know if that's everything or if they'll have another session, but they do have stuff in process.
M Ward as in Monsters of Folk? New music?
My apologies, I got it mixed up in my head (since this came out in September) http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/dc9/2012/09/will_johnson_looks_inward_with.php (http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/dc9/2012/09/will_johnson_looks_inward_with.php)
Will Johnson says that MOF recorded a little in February.

You just need to come hang out in the Monsters of Folk thread (http://forum.mymorningjacket.com/index.php/topic,4834.msg306802.html#msg306802) a little more :thumbsup:

You're probably right although that thread has only three posts since 2009!
And I just went over to the MOF web site and there's no news or posts there since 2011. And I just searched the web and couldn't find anything new there either.
What's a Monster fan to do? Maybe there's really not much happening despite what we'd like to believe. :cry:
Ummmm.....did you guys check your emails this a.m.? (Jim James, that is!) There goes another 100 bucks!!
9:30 tomorrow morning...wow!

That might be true... but those three posts were all solid! And had you been there it might have been four, right? :thumbsup: I think there's something happening, just very slowly, as always, since they have so much going on on their own, but the last album was only like three sessions or something, wasn't it? (might be hallucinating here) I still have hope! :cheesy:
While waiting you can always check out this mix of MoF-related stuff (http://lovemonsters.tumblr.com/) :thumbsup:

And if we posted this dialogue in the right place, they'd be even more - let's continue the conversation over there. :rolleyes:
Thanks for the link!
When Jim was on WXPN in Philly on Tuesday night he was asked about recording a new Jacket album. His response was that they'd probably be recording "after summer" after he finished touring his solo album.
So, I'm guessing we'll get something in spring/summer '14 if that's the case.
That is so far away! :cry:
