My Morning Jacket have announced a new album called Is. The follow-up to 2021’s My Morning Jacket is out March 21 via ATO. Leading the new album is the lead single “Time Waited,” which comes with a music video, directed by Danny Clinch, that incorporates archival photos and performance footage. Watch it below.
Frontman Jim James, who’s produced or co-produced all of My Morning Jacket’s studio albums since their debut, ceded control behind the boards to producer Brendan O’Brien—who worked on Bruce Springsteen’s The Rising, Devils & Dust, Magic, and Working on a Dream. “Up until now I’ve never been able to let go and allow someone else to steer the ship,” James said in a press statement. “It almost felt like an out-of-body experience to step back and give control over to someone who’s far more accomplished and made so many more records than us, but in the end I was able to enjoy the process maybe more than I ever have before.”
In April, My Morning Jacket, will stage the next edition of their One Big Holiday festival, which has been running since 2013. The 2025 event takes place at Seascape Resort, in Miramar Beach, Florida, from April 3-5.
