Wow...couldn't help but notice this line in the article.
"...James and company sound as though they've got all the validation they need to continue forging ahead into the cosmos, like some kind of hick Arcade Fire."
Hick Arcade Fire? HICK?? :o
I've lived in Hick central for about 18 years now, and I've seen any kind of redneck you can imagine. And from my point of view, MMJ are like distinguished british people compared to these folks.
Nevermind the fact that My Morning Jacket sound nothing like Arcade Fire.
That's actually pretty hilarious. Hick Arcade Fire. [smiley=thumbsdown.gif]
obviously doesn't know any REAL hicks. :-/
Funny that Arcade Fire have one album and MMJ have 4, yet MMJ are being compared to them. I like arcade fire, but they are overhyped and are nowhere near as good as MMJ.

I think they're very different... (I also think they have 2 records, and possibly an EP or two...)
They also just blew the hell up pretty quick. Must be pretty weird to deal with that...
