Celestial Southern rock types My Morning Jacket are to release a new EP next month to celebrate ‘Record Store Day’.
Celebrating independent record stores around the world, ‘Record Store Day’ has suddenly become a big deal this year, gathering the support of countless bands.
My Morning Jacket are the latest group to sign up to the celebrations with a new EP. Recorded live at two Louisville shows last year, the EP is the group’s first release since their album ‘Evil Urges’ hit home last year.
A celebrated live group, the band have been on the sidelines since singer Jim James injured himself at a show last year. The singer still enjoyed a successful 2008, being picked to wear the UN’s ‘Peace Belt’.
In a statement the band say they are “excited to make this a special release that you can only get at your favorite local independent record store, as now more than ever we all need to take the time to celebrate what our favorite local record stores and businesses mean to us – the value of community/human-to-human, non-internet related physical and spiritual contact, and supporting the hardworking people in your community who strive everyday to keep it unique and keep it local.”
My Morning Jacket release their new EP ‘Celebración De La Ciudad Natal’ on April 18th. Tracklisting is as follows:
‘Evil Urges’
‘Highly Suspicious’
‘Gideon’
‘Where To Begin’
‘Librarian’
‘Phone Went West’
‘Dondante’
