The Mojo of this month count out no less than 5 ASTRE for the new cd of My Morning jacket and that does this renowned music illustrated magazine but seldom. It is in this case no longer than rightly, because z is indeed an amazing good cd, which the already not sick predecessors on all fronts weet to exceed. For the first time My Morning jacket did not repair once their cd in each other in the schuurtje in its own backyard, but were incorporated there in a professional studio under the guidance of topproducer (of Radiohead John Leckie) confessed. It Kentucky have done the link well, because never My Morning jacket sounded this way floated. On their previous cd's My Morning made jacket already Americana in the broadest sense of the word and this description applies also on Z. Folk, country, rock, soul, headstock, Southern Rock, it comes all beyond, but the nothing predominated unique sound of these fantastiche link. The Mojo call listening to the fourth of My Morning jacket a religious experience. That goes us what dares far, but call a master work we best.

De Mojo van deze maand telt maar liefst 5 sterren neer voor de nieuwe cd van My Morning Jacket en dat doet dit gerenommeerde muziektijdschrift maar zelden. Het is in dit geval niet meer dan terecht, want Z is inderdaad een verbluffend goede cd, die de al niet misselijke voorgangers op alle fronten weet te overtreffen. Voor het eerst sleutelde My Morning Jacket hun cd eens niet in elkaar in het schuurtje in de eigen achtertuin, maar werd er opgenomen in een professionele studio onder leiding van een topproducer (de van Radiohead bekende John Leckie). Het heeft de band uit Kentucky goed gedaan , want nog nooit klonk My Morning Jacket zo gedreven. Op hun vorige cd's maakte My Morning Jacket al Americana in de breedste zin van het woord en deze omschrijving is ook van toepassing op Z. Folk, country, rock, soul, pop, Southern Rock,het komt allemaal voorbij, maar niets overheerst het unieke geluid van deze fantastiche band. De Mojo noemt het beluisteren van de vierde van My Morning Jacket een religieuze ervaring. Dat gaat ons wat ver, maar een meesterwerk durven we het best te noemen.

Dutch is part of the Indogermanic languages. It's kinda between German and English I think.
Did you know Belgium is divided in a Dutch and a French speaking part.
The north was invaded by Germanic tribes (also The Netherlands) and tribes that came overseas from England. The South was Roman territory (French-speaking).
We're kind of a weird country, actually.
Our territories have been ruled by many different countries and divided in many ways through history, it's complicated stuff!
all I know is that every single person I've ever met from your country has been friendly, laid back, and very well educated. and i've met more folks than just uncle riny...who was all of those qualities and more! ;)

And great Music Fans..and not just because of MMJ :-). In working with new release distribution for musicians in various genres, we get the most favorable, and super-friendly, feedback and press from everyone there.
Cool!
Yeah, we are pretty laid back, well, most of us 8)

When someone asks what do they sound like? you can reply something like, "Man, they're pretty fucking headstock!" ;)

Godnondeju, I was in fact from to for looking at to It Still Moves the part two. Secretly but full expectation. It runs therefore differently, z other wafer is but after just as firm doorkauwen the genot is not less large. Therefore gooi you cruel expectations overboard, recensent. Do it now! Z is deeply, z is laminated. John Leckie's (producer of Radioheads The Bends and The Stone Roses) production is glashelder. Jim James engelengalm have been proportioned up to in exactly the correct quantities. Pick-up-truck-rock for the vertebrate droomrock of ` Into the have made Woods ', ` Gideon ' and ` It beats for You. James ' resounding vocalen are sometimes impregnated to in ridiculous like against the end of ` Wordless Chorus ' but nevertheless always remain it net within the frameworks of the good taste. The six minutes of ` Lay Low is built quietly of atmospheric southern rock to freakout jet ear jam of Lynyrd Skynyrd-achtige proporties. James shine in clincher ` Dondante where the zanger vocalen drenched in MDMA splendidly concerning the minimum jet ear melody is lays down whereas that minimum basis slow aanzwelt degenerates and in such typical My Morning Jacket-climax. Heavily tinkling jet ears and donderdrums which delicious tekeer go. It is just as get used, nevertheless but z in the long run nevertheless offers jacket that to so many different facets of the brio of My Morning after a number of lustre turns you cup under goes.

ATO, 2005 Sony ` z ', the new plate of My Morning jacket, go of start with dark, uncomfortable synth which evengoed a rag fat drum ' n bass van Andy c or DJ Aphrodite could have rung in. This unexpected kickoff puts immediately the tone for a plate on which the altcountry altcountry-formatie dares Kentucky new walk paths. Whereas their songs dared degenerate in the past sometimes in long spun out jam sessions, My Morning jacket on ` z for more compact and gebaldere sound opt. The plate clocks, as it happens, finished on goeie 47 minutes. Rivers Cuomo van Weezer would make gewag of epic proporties, but in comparison with ` It Still Moves has Jim James and kompanen the length of their numbers has been considerably shortened. In comparison with the previous work also the diversity on those ` falls z displays: a zest r&b, a pinch reggae and light elektronica, the bebaarde countryrockers do not twist on their new plate their hand for. To let we immediately but our most important conclusion there against throw: ` z are a paradoxical plate. The disc marks a crack with the past and nevertheless its all elements of in former days present. Jim "The more reverb the better" James zoekt still the higher regionen of the tone ladder on, the emotional song lines are supported still by intimistisch and melodious jet ear work and is enjoy plate also this on his best at a crackling hearth fire with a bottle Merlot in the buurt. In what then does the discrepancy with plates hide as ` It Still Moves ' and ` ate Dawn '? Wel, it is such as football analyst to Wim the Coninck would say concerning Anderlecht-Betis Sevilla: the difference is present him in finishing. The countryrockers John Leckie (earlier already behind the buds at Radiohead, Stone Roses and Muse) under the arm have taken and that fruit have clearly thrown off. Leckie give ` z ' an appreciation which did think us of what Nigel Godrich for ` Sea Change ' of Beck meant. The plate sounds very subtle and nicely finished, polished without clean or. The hoekjes of the songs sit crammed with details without we also but one thought seconde of overdaad. ` Wordless Chorus is a beautiful example: on the context we hear the sea rustle and a bicycle bel tinkles without the song is lost sight of. The number proves that a refrain full aah aah's can the soul touch much more than certain out-of-date frasen which even the association without name would label still as farinaceously and clichématig (that means you, James Blunt). The following number, ` It beats 4 you, belongs now already in our lijstje My Morning Jacket-classics: ijle vocal of James take along our, accompanied by circling synthesizers, to unprecedented altitudes, whereas subtle drumroffels try in vain offer work against this irrisistible etherische splendour. Beside the dragging ballads can there on ` z also old-fashioned become gerockt. In the contagious ` What a Wonderful man He were ask to a swinging piano exuberant jet ears at dancing. The number a superb single would be: exciting, catchy and beyond for you the weet. Also ` Lay Low is no less than rechttoe rechtaan rocknummer. In with kinderstemmetjes cheered eup ` Into The Woods (a rolling mill, jawel) hears pass we then a carrousel the revue. The number is illustrative for the experimental character of the plate. There is however concluded traditionally with the slowly awakening ` Dondante, a number that uncomplicated on the previous plate could have stood: gentle drums, ditto and scarcely bass to descry a jet ear accompanies hyperemotioneel sounding James to a majestic peak. When the song extinguishes softly we let us remain bottle smile and an empty wine blissful with in the seat behind. With ` z My Morning deliver jacket one of the most pleasant surprises of the year. It is their most varied and uitgepuurde plate so far. There no note stands up too much and that has in the past differently been sometimes. Worrying for eindejaarslijstjes has now already taken a commencement.

e new My Morning jacket, kortweg z been called, late clearly the influence of producer hears John Leckie (Radiohead, Stone Roses). In the beregoede openers Wordless Chorus and It beats 4 you are already immediately flirted with a strong amount elektronica. For misunderstandings to occur Jim James there sing once more on top of: "we are the innovators, they are the imitators." Louisville, Kentucky offer enormously much space for variatie and experimentings to the fourth album of the group. Introverted numbers as Gideon and knot of Come false, in which James on pour out his acquaintance, schizophrenic wise its heart, stand in strident contrast with the striking lively reggaedeuntje of off the record or rough gitaarsolo in modern rocksong such as Lay Low. On the first interview weet you perhaps not this way well what you must with that diversity to sounds to, but after a couple lustre turns it grows abstract z to spiritual altitudes. A thing is certainly well almost: My Morning jacket have exceeded themselves for the zoveelste time.

Z: If you roll over the character have you a triangel and sits there also somewhere seven My Morning told in hides, jacket - front man Jim James recently in an interview. You can therefore all sides. A title which covers the cargo perfectly, because the fourth album of the kentucky kentucky-boys is their most varied plate dusver. That becomes immediately clearly at opener Wordless Chorus, a number that starts with a dark r&b bass line and dubgroove where Lee Scratch Perry in unpacked the years seventy gladly. With the aid of producer John Leckie, the man who ever still at Radiohead and the Stone Roses behind the buds zat, do not shy away from My Morning jacket to a rolling mill to venture itself in "Into The Woods". An excellent choice this way proves to be because Jim put James everything effortlessly to its hand and makes of it with its typical voice sound an excellent album.

Producer John Leckie has defied the link and type-setter/zanger Jim James has that challenge still further uitgerekt than possible was considered. The eternal comparison with Neil Young he of itself has shaken off and on the one number James resound as Brian Wilson on other then as Joey Ramone. We let us perceive at It Still Moves a light evolution in music, then is more certainly today nothing.

Louisville, a considerable city in the state Kentucky, have been mainly confessed because of whisky which comes there from. Less is confessed that there also a complete trits muzikanten comes from Louisville, such as Will Oldham. But maatjes also its of cultband Slint and David Grubbs, key character within the indiescene of Chicago and confessed of Gastr Del Sol comes there from. Why this geography lesson? Because the makers of Disque headstock the drawer Semaine z comes there also from: My Morning jacket. Just as the memory freshens up himself: In 1999, the debuut The Tennessee Fire appeared. Only in the Netherlands we ran all shouting with joy to the plate shops; in the rest of the world remained suspected quietly around the release. In the years afterwards followed several link sure awl and signed the link at a large plate society. For the year a new cd. z appeared is the fourth. The foundation of - meanwhile - the vijftal is still called Jim James. The strength of My Morning jacket always lay in the roots of the link. You heard the grand prairies, whisky smelled himself and you felt the suffering of poor leave Kentucky. The suffering that also singer/songwriters such as Neil Young and Will Oldham feels. And that therefore a number of albums long. Until it 2005 is and it comes for the link. Probably someone of the plate society Jim James has told that ' it is now or never '. You cannot your levenlang remain world-famous in the Netherlands. And therefore the British producer John Leckie was engaged. Leckie produce to the current link, but have an impressive CV. He twisted Fool's to the buds at The Stone Roses then they applied prerecordings. And he zat also behind the mengtafel then Radiohead The Bends had. Furthermore he among others The produced liveliness, cast and the album k of Kula Shaker. And now therefore z of My Morning jacket. It can said: without Leckie z the zoveelste My Morning jacket album had been. Now it the best album of the link has by far become. Nou that opener takes Wordless Chorus: all trusted ingredients - drums, song, tests, bass and jet ear - are there, but improve latches, more nicely and more intensely than ever. The Neil Young have made tradition for an approach which earlier successfully applied Leckie at Radiohead. And then My Morning jacket get away extra good, because James have the strotje of a nightingale. Also in It beats 4 you hear you Radiohead: beautiful tight drumpartijen and full a pallet to jet ear and organ sounds. What a Wonderful man has something of Guided By Voices whereas sounds off the record as a number of The WHO from the years 80 other references on the album is The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev and perhaps also ordinary Supertramp and U2. My Morning jacket make up themselves already for strong stadiontournee. Bigger, better and of course net something too short.
Thx Riny voor al deze schitterende posts. Bij elke lezing, gaat mijn hart sneller kloppen en vraag ik mij af waarom ik deze cd nog niet gekocht heb. SHAME ON ME :o

There was a glowing review in Humo (one of our most read magazines) this week. Z was declared album of the year :D
Here it is
We waren er bijlange nog niet uit wie ons eindejaarslijstje zou aanvoeren - Sufjan Stevens, The Magic Numbers, Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party, eels, Kaiser Chiefs, Antony and The Johnsons, The Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem, Neil Young, Soulwax, The White Stripes, Admiral Freebee, South San Gabriel, Monza, Bright Eyes, Millionaire, M.I.A., The Earlies (zie verder) of toch maar één van de fonkelende Best of-boxen, wat een verplétterend jaar - maar nu weten we het zeker: 't wordt My Morning Jacket! Met 'Z' hebben Jim James & co. het onomkeerbare meesterwerk afgeleverd dat er al sinds hun debuut in 1999 zat aan te komen. De plaat heeft alles: de poëzie van Sufjan Stevens, de arabesken van The Arcade Fire, het diepe van eels, het gekwelde van Antony, de storm in het hoofd van Admiral Freebee, het opgewekte van Kaiser Chiefs, het hippe van Franz Ferdinand, het tintelende van The Magic Numbers and then some. Werkelijk níéts wensen wij op 'Z' aan te merken - of het moet detailkritiek zijn op het weinig aanlokkelijke, magisch-surrealistische cd-hoesje. De muziek stuitert alle kanten uit - vaak in één en dezelfde song - en omhelst en route verschillende genres, maar ontspoort nergens. Neem als voorbeeld halverwege de plaat het intrigerende 'Into the Woods', een valse trage: een hoempa-kermisdeuntje onder een complexe zanglijn zou als een tang op een varken moeten slaan, maar werkt hier wonderwel, en dan wurmt zich op het eind ook nog eens geheel onaangekondigd een mannenkoor de song binnen. Briljant! Van dezelfde orde is de withete, zinderende rock die 'Anytime' heet: hoe de oe-oe-oes als rubberen balletjes opbotsen tegen de betonnen muur van gitaren, bas, toetsen en drums! Of het aan een kwaaie Neil Young & Crazy Horse ontfutselde 'Lay Low' - lang geleden dat we nog eens van zo'n langgerekte vettige gitaarsolo mochten genieten. En wat gezegd van de heupwiegende country 'Knot Comes Loose', of van het slotnummer 'Dondante', dat tergend traag inzet - stem, drums en een toefje gitaar - om halfweg als een fusee open te spatten en daarna zachtjes weer uit te sterven. En op de eerste helft van de plaat staan óók niks dan hoogtepunten. De lome soul van het hypnotiserende 'Wordless Chorus', gezongen met een falset die zich tussen Neil Young en Jeff Buckley ophoudt, gaat vlekkeloos over in het hippe 'It Beats 4 U', 'Gideon' draagt de pathos van de bevlogen U2 uit, 'What a Wonderful Man' is een rauwe lap van een onweerstaanbare, erg Britse popsong, doormidden gekliefd door een gitaarsolo met vuile manieren, en in 'Off the Record' skankt Jim James à la The Clash een eind weg: lékker. Hoe organisch past daarbij de dub lounge die bassist Two Tone Tommy en drummer Patrick Hallahan aan het nummer hebben gebreid. Pfwioew.
Met 'Z' bewijst My Morning Jacket dat het The Band van zijn tijd is, letterlijk en figuurlijk. Een glorieuze plaat!

"There was a glowing review in Humo (one of our most read magazines) this week. Z was declared album of the year"
Complete it are We were there bijlange not yet from which our eindejaarslijstje would invoke - Sufjan stevens, The Magic Numbers, Franz Ferdinand, Bloc party, eels, Kaiser Chiefs, Antony and The Johnsons, The arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem, Neil Young, Soulwax, The White Stripes, Admiral Freebee, South San Gabriel, Monza, Bright Eyes, Millionaire, M.I.A., The Earlies (to see further) if nevertheless but one of glowing best of-boxen, what a verplétterend year - but now know we it certainly: t becomes My Morning jacket! With ' z ' Jim James & co. has delivered the irreversible master work that there already since their debuut in 1999 zat, to arrive. The plate has everything: the poëzie of Sufjan stevens, the arabesques of The arcade Fire, it deep of eels, it tormented of Antony, the storm in the head of Admiral Freebee, it bright of Kaiser Chiefs, the hippe van Franz Ferdinand, it tingling of The Magic Numbers and then some. Real níéts wish comment we on ' z ' - or it must be detail criticism on a little tempting, magical-surrealistic cd-hoesje. Music plays at marbles all sides from - frequently in one and the same song - and embraces and route several genres, but goes off the rails nowhere. Take as an example halfway the plate the intriguing ' Into the Woods ', false slow: kermisdeuntjekermisdeuntje kermisdeuntje under a complex song line beat as a grip on a pig must, but will work themselves within wonderwel, and then wurmt on the end also once more entirely unexpected a man chancel the song. Brilliantly! Of the same order the white-hot, shimmering rock are which ' Anytime ' are called: how oe-oe-oes as rubber pellets the opbotsen against betonnen the wall of jet ears, bass, tests and drums! Or ' Lay Low ' diddled to a kwaaie Neil Young & crazy Horse - a long time ago that we could enjoy once more such elongated greasy gitaarsolo. And what said of the waggling country ' knot of Comes false ', or of the lock number ' Dondante ', which provocatively slowly uses - voice, drums and toefje jet ear - to splash and afterwards softly to die half-way as fusee. And on first half of the plate then peaks also nothing stand. The heavy soul of the hypnotising ' Wordless Chorus ', sung with a falset which between Neil Young and Jeff Buckley stops itself, spotlessly in the hippe ' It beats 4 proceeds you ', ' Gideon ' carries out the pathos of the animated U2, ' What a Wonderful man ' a raw rag of an irrisistible, terrible British popsong, doormidden has been cleaved by gitaarsolo with dirty manners, and in ' off the record ' skankt Jim James à drawer The Clash an end gone: lékker. How organic is appropriate thereby lounge hesitates that bass player Two Tone tommy and drummer Patrick Hallahan to the number has gebreid. Pfwioew. With ' z ' My Morning prove jacket that the The link of its time are, litterally and figurative. A glorious plate!
Oh my gosh these are funny...but good! :-)

It Still Moves, the third album in 2003, in this heading 5 ASTRE deserved of My Morning jacket. To be behind we still. Continuator z is very differently. Less spun out jet ear solos (z lasts also considerable shorter); much more use of keyboards; the hollow consonances of the graansilo's in which took them, have made for the warmth of the studio and the opinion of five individuals (of which two new) for the hand of one producer. Result: less chaos, more structure. The plate starts and finishes with a couple fraaie ballads, rocknummers stand provide with celestial interludes. And zanger Jim James was never this way well at voice. That voice can be then frequently compared with those of Neil Young, z is ten times improves then his prairie wind. Z is even nóg improves then It Still Moves. Therefore 5, yes. At least. * * * * *

Baldrick is brilliant too. And Colonel Melchett!

It's hard to find. There are arguments all over the place as to whether Bad News or Spinal Tap came first. Technically, I think that Spinal Tap was released first, but I think they'd been doing Bad News bits for a while before that...
Anyhow. :) Yeah, I have a lot of sewing that I'm procrastinating on right now. Maybe I need to rent Blackadder and sew with it on. :) There's a big thunderstorm outside today. Cracks of lightning all over.

MY MORNING JACKET
Z (ATO/RCA/SONY BMG)
Z. Zeventje. Meer niet. Door zijn eerste drie albums (The Tennessee Fire, At Dawn en It Still Moves) behoorde My Morning Jacket uit Louisville, Kentucky met bands als Death Cab For Cutie, For Stars en South San Gabriel tot het beste dat de Amerikaanse indiescene de afgelopen vijf jaar te bieden had.
Vier keer blijkt ook geen scheepsrecht voor deze ruimdenkende en deels ververste band, want het met de Engelse veteraan-producer John Leckie opgenomen Z stelt teleur. Jim James maakt als zanger met een hoog Neil Young-gehalte weer veel indruk, al overdrijft hij soms als hij Rubettes-achtige neigingen vertoont. Als componist laat James het ditmaal meerdere malen afweten. Voorbeelden? What A Wonderful Man is een karakterloos rockertje met een even stoere als obligate gitaarsolo, het schizofrene Off The Record koppelt The Police (op een off-day) aan XTC en een babyversie van Pink Floyd ten tijde van Meddle, het ploeterende Lay Low is getoonzette middelmaat. Gelukkig zijn er ook nog wat pareltjes, zoals het ingetogen en met een fijne piano opgetuigde Knot Comes Loose. En als Z vol gestaan had met composities als Dondante, waarin My Morning Jacket qua grandeur Mercury Rev naar de kroon steekt, dan was het een wereldplaat geweest. Nu is Z een typisch geval van zonde.
