My Morning Jacket announced their 10th studio album, Is, will be released March 21. Produced by Grammy-winner Brendan O’Brien, the LP marks the group’s first new full-length LP in more than three years.
Lead singer/guitarist Jim James said in a statement that their interest in working with acclaimed producer O’Brien came from a “newfound willingness to open up their process and involve an outside creative force .. 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.”
My Morning Jacket also shared the lead single from the upcoming LP, “Time Waited,” along with a video directed by a Danny Clinch. The visual features a mix of performance footage and floating flowers with archival photos from throughout the band’s quarter-century-plus history.
