My Morning Jacket announce new album, share single "Time Waited"

Louisville’s My Morning Jacket have announced their tenth album, is, will hit record store shelves on March 28 via ATO. It’s their first in three years and was produced by Brendan O’Brien. In conjunction with the news, the band shared the video for the dreamy new single, “Time Waited.”

“I made a loop of that piano intro and listened as I went for a walk, and all these melodies started coming to me,” frontman Jim James shared about the new track. “For a long time, I didn’t have lyrics, but then I had a dream where I was in a café and a song was playing, and the lyrics to that song became the lyrics to ‘Time Waited’ – the melodies just fit perfectly. And the lyrics are about how flexible time is, how we can bend and warp time, especially if we are following our hearts, the universe and time itself can flow to work with us.”

The single is accompanied by a music video directed by Danny Clinch.

Speaking of the album's title, James says: “I like how the word is indicates a sense of presence in the now – there’s no logic or rationale behind this record; it just is. All these songs came into existence out of an attempt to connect with something beyond the human experiment, which for me is one of the most beautiful things about music – that connection with something larger than us, yet something we are all equally a part of.”

About working with producer O’Brien, James stated, “Up until now I’ve never been able to let go and allow someone else to steer the ship. 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.”

WFPK Song of the Day spotlights a song we love - weekdays at 11:10.
