Description
"The new record, Circuital, is named after the title song," explains Jim James, of My Morning Jacket's sixth studio album. "On that song I sing about ending up in the same place where you started out. And that makes a lot of sense for this album... I hate the phrase 'going back to our roots', but for this record we came home and made it in Kentucky. And it just felt a lot like it did when we were first starting out..."Circuital is the first album the group have made in Kentucky since It Still Moves, recording it in the gymnasium of a Louisville church under the aegis of producer Tucker Martine. Jim bonded with Martine while recording backing vocals for Laura Veirs' 2010 album July Flame, which Martine, Veirs' husband, also produced. "We hit it off right away," says Martine, who later helped set up a home studio in James' Louisville home, where he's working on a future solo album. "As a group, we've always been hoping to find 'our guy'," says James. "And we've worked with some great people, but we'd wanted to find someone who was, like, 'one of us'. And Tucker fit in perfectly, and he had a whole set of skills we didn't possess. He's real smart, and fun to be with."
