My Morning Jacket Announce New Album, Share First Single

January 15th, 2025

My Morning Jacket will release their new album, is, on March 21st via ATO Records. Produced by 3x GRAMMY® Award-winner Brendan O’Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam), it’s the 10th studio album for the Louisville 5-piece My Morning Jacket and the band’s first new collection in more than three years. 

The album announce arrived with My Morning Jacket’s lead single “Time Waited.” The video features new performance footage interspersed with archival photos from throughout the band’s history. “Time Waited” emerged from a sample of a spellbinding piano part lifted from pedal-steel virtuoso Buddy Emmons’ lost classic album, Emmons Guitar Inc.

“I made a loop of that piano intro and listened as I went for a walk, and all these melodies started coming to me,” says My Morning Jacket vocalist/guitarist Jim James. “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.”
