My Morning Jacket will be releasing its first new studio album in nearly six years on October 22.

The upcoming album follows the 2015 album The Waterfall and this one is 11-tracks and is self-titled. Along with the announcement of the new album, the group released the first single, “Regularly Scheduled Programming”, with a video.

“This song really hits home for me after what we’ve gone through with the pandemic,” says frontman Jim James of “Regularly Scheduled Programming”. “But even before then, it felt like so many of us were trading real life for social media, trading our own stories for the storylines on TV, trading our consciousness for drugs. We need to help each other wake up to real love before it’s too late.”

The band will be touring starting August 27 and it will resume its One Big Holiday concert vacation on Match 2-5, 2022 at the Moon Palace Cancun resort in Mexico. The event will also feature Lord Huron, Brittany Howard, Black Pumas, Sharon Van Etten, Trampled By Turtles, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Steel Pulse, and many more.
