The new record, 'Circuital', is named after the title song, explains Jim James, of My Morning Jackets 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 hes working on a future solo album. As a group, weve always been hoping to find our guy, says James. And weve worked with some great people, but wed wanted to find someone who was, like, one of us. And Tucker fit in perfectly, and he had a whole set of skills we didnt possess. Hes real smart, and fun to be with.

Converting the gymnasium into a recording studio wasnt an easy task, says Martine, but the extra effort yielded unique results. Its a big project, to record in a space like that. It has so many limitations, compared to working in a modern studio, but they were limitations we were all drawn to. The focus became on communicating and interacting, and not on what modern trickery we could use later. At the groups insistence, the album was recorded live, with few overdubs; James vocals were recorded at the same time as the bands performances. We were going for full takes; we wanted everybody running back to the control room afterwards, freaking out and wanting to listen back to the take, remembers James. Were A Band, and so I want our records to be made that way, with us being A Band. Capturing performances, that intangible thing between us, some kind of soul. When friends have been through as much as we have together Its not something I could even describe. We wanted to capture the sound of us just playing, being in the same place and just feeding off each other.

This is truly a great band, and they play so well together, it would be wrong not to document that, adds Martine. For James, the new album finds a sweet understanding between the questing creative impulses of 'Evil Urges' and the more familiar feel of My Morning Jackets earlier work. The albums like a rolling, gentle soundwave, he says, in comparison to 'Evil Urges' jagged edges. But I dont feel ;Circuita;l sounds like our earlier recordings. Were always trying to go in new directions. His memories of the sessions for ;Circuita;l are only fond. There was no AC, no-one had their laptops. We recorded everything on tape. It was like, were just who we are, with what we have with us at the moment, and thats all we have. It was a beautiful thing, and it really cemented what we all mean to each other, as people and as a band. Weve learned, slowly over the years, how to function more healthily, I guess, so we dont all combust. Making this record, it felt like our friendship was only strengthened.
