My Morning Jacket News.....New Song & Circuital Tracklisting

Following the reveal of the title track from their upcoming album a few weeks ago, My Morning Jacket gave fans a second helping of soon to be released disc yesterday.  The group streamed another song from Circuital titled "Holdin On To Black Metal" on their website and facebook page.  It oozes funk with horns and a female choir.  If "Circuital" reached back to MMJ's earlier days then "Holdin On To Black Metal" picks up right where there last album 'Evil Urges' left off.  I also have a sneaking suspicion that the band's recent work with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band had a big influence on this record.

According to frontman Jim James in an interview with SPIN, among his musical influences are a Thai pop group from the 60's.  So much so that "Holdin On To Black Metal" samples the melody of one of their songs.  Honestly, who other then Jim and MMJ would sample a 60's Thai group for a rock record!?  They never cease to surprise me. 


Lastly, the track listing for 'Circuital' has been released.  It comes out on May 31, 2011 so hit up your local record store and pick it up.
