My Morning Jacket has been very secretive about work on their highly anticipated follow up to 2008's Evil Urges but have now announced that their new album, entitled Circuital will be released in the Spring.
The band has also announced the celebration of their new album by releasing six weeks of free songs leading up to the album's release. The first five weeks of downloads will be from My Morning Jacket's historic five night run at New York's Terminal 5 in October 2010. Each night, the band played one of their studio albums in their entirety. The sixth download, available April 12, will be the premiere release of a songs from Circuital.
The first song has already been released. It is "Butch Cassidy" from the band's Tennessee Fire album, recorded on October 18, 2010. You can sign up to receive all of the downloads at My Morning Jacket's website.
Circuital is being described as a stripped down affair that both honors My Morning Jacket's Kentucky roots while updating their sound. It was recorded in Louisville, KY and Nashville, TN and was co-produced by My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James and Tucker Martine, who has produced for REM, Sufjan Stevens, and The Decemberists.
