My Morning Jacket have announced that their seventh studio album The Waterfall, will be released on May 4 via ATO/Capitol Records. See the tracklisting and their US tour dates below.
The band, who recorded most of the album at Panoramic House in Stinson Beach, California, was heavily influenced by the location. "Stinson Beach was so psychadelic and focused," said frontman Jim James. "It was almost like we lived on our own little moon out there. It feels like you're up in the sky."
The Waterfall is the Kentucky-based five-piece's follow-up to the 2011 album Circuital, and will be their first release through Capitol Records.
In a statement, James said of the release: "What fused this record is, I feel like it's a weird turning point for the universe. I feel like so many people I know are getting divorced or having kids. There's so much change going on and I feel like, for me, that one chapter has ended. And if you're looking at a book, there's a hand flipping the page up and it's in between the chapter you just finished and the one that's getting ready to start. That's kind of the sound of this record, and my life, the sound of the page turning and not being sure what's coming next."
The full tracklisting for The Waterfall is as follows:
01. Believe (Nobody Knows)
02. Compount Fracture
03. Like A River
04. In Its Infancy (The Waterfall)
05. Get The Point
