My Morning Jacket - Evil Urges

[Ben Klingston]

Now that the Pens run is over, I'm trying to keep my mind on other things to look forward to... baby steps.

Anyone else picking up/downloading (legally, of course) MMJ's new 'Evil Urges' (on sale 6/10)?

I haven't looked forward to an album release this much since Pearl Jam's last one.

Evil Urges explores new sound once again, with the title track having a very Prince-ish type sound to it. (YouTubed from Coachella at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLijgIBzhE0)

Yet they stay in touch with their roots and sound from their last studio album, Z, with 'I'm Amazed' (also at Coachella http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-BKvYgrPC0)

The rest of the album sounds very experimental and not exactly as hook-y and the above two songs, but I'm really looking forward to it.

Oh, and anyone who plays a Flying V is cool. But Jim James plays it like few others, which means he's even cooler.

Yes, I am excited about this one. "Z" has been one of my favorite albums of the last few years.

Also, if you like MMJ...give Band of Horses a try. Very similar sound.

Already on the Band of Horses bandwagon. 'Ode to the LRC' is fantastic.

The song Funeral still blows me away, BOH is a band that was all over publications and I had never heard, and after a while i finally caved in, and they totally exceeded my expectations.

I think one big holiday is still my favortie MMJ song. It's impossible not to like off the record though.

Same here... caved and bought their newest, then went back and bought their old stuff.

One Big Holiday is probably my favorite also.... just an epic. Run Thru was named one of the top 100 guitar songs of all time in the latest Rolling Stone.
