Recording
Louisville
On July 13th 2010, at a press conference, My Morning Jacket confirmed that they were in fact working on a new album. In an Rolling Stone interview published in August of the same year Jim James stated that the band had five songs done and that they'd worked a couple weeks at that point, and would continue for another month (Rolling Stone). James also mentioned that the band would be recording the upcoming album in a church in Louisville. Read more about the band's time spent recording in the church here.

Sound/themes
In a 2010 interview Jim James compared the new album to 2008 album Evil Urges, saying that Evil Urges was the hardest record the band ever made and that the new sessions sounded more upbeat. He also explained that the band was trying to do as much as possibly live. Read more about the album's sound and themes here.

Influences
In a 2010 interview with Post-Gazette Bo Koster was asked about new influences on the upcoming album, Koster answered that he wasn't sure.

"There may be -- I'm not sure! It's always hard to describe for me. I think all of our influences are there one way or another, whether it's in a subtle way or overtly."

Recording
Hideaway Studio
In an 2008 interview with the band (Vanity Fair interview) Jim James said that the album slowly came together over a couple of years. In June 2007 the band spent a month in a rented cabin/studio (Hideaway Studio) in Colorado Springs (Vanity Fair interview and Magnet interview). In the Vanity Fair interview James also said that during this visit the band had 22 or 23 songs that they played around and learned. In other interviews James has also stated that the band was conflicted when deciding which songs would be on the album, at one point they even considered making the record into two separate pieces (Magnet Magazine). Read more about the band's time at Hideaway Studios here.

Manhattan
The band recorded the album in Manhattan, New York. In a 2002 interview Tom Blankenship explained that the band intentionally set out to have a different recording environment than the last time (Aquarian Weekly).

My Morning Jacket, Evil Urges EPK 2008

In an another interview the band describes the studio as both uncomfortable and cramped, but they also point out that this kept them focused on the task at hand (msnbc). More about the recordings in Manhattan here.

Emotional aspect
In retrospect Jim James has said that Evil Urges was the the hardest record the band's ever made (Rolling Stone) and in an 2010 interview Patrick Hallahan voiced similar opinions (Democrat and Chronicle). Read more about the band's thoughts on the subject here.

Sound/themes
In an 2008 interview Jim James says that the band both wanted to try a different sound, as well as a more seamless sound (msnbc). James brings up the band's drumming as an example, saying that it's so tight that sometimes you might be confused if it's a real person playing. In the same interview producer Joe Chiccarelli states that in his opinion Evil Urges is is the most instantly accessible, groove-oriented batch of songs that the band has done. Read more about the sound and themes here.

Expectations
In an 2008 interview Jim James pointed out that it's impossible to please everyone and that he didn't want to do the same thing over and over again, but noted that there are people who would be most happy with if the band kept remaking The Tennessee Fire (AV Club). However James concluded that the end of the day the record makes itself what it wants to be and that there's only so much the band can do to meet people’s expectations, or not meet them. Read more about the bands thoughts on expectations here.

Critical reception

In January 2009 Evil Urges ended up on the 16th spot on Spin Magazine's list of the 40 best albums of 2008.

The album was nominated for a Grammy for Best Alternative rock Album.

Album leak
Coming soon...

We’re still kind of old-fashioned with things. We understand it’s the 90s. [Reader, that’s what he said; your guess is as good as mine.] But also I feel like there’s some people who still are like us and still get excited about getting an album when a band says they can have an album. Because there’s a reason that album is supposed to come out a certain date—there’s a whole logic behind the thing.

2. It Beats 4 U – 3:46
3. Gideon – 3:39

The Japanese pressing of the album contains the B-side Chills; digital copies include the other b-side How Could I Know as well.

Recording
Allaire Studios
Z is the first album where the band choose to record away from the Quaid family farm which had served as the inspiration for their first three albums. Instead, My Morning Jacket decided to record in New York's Allaire Studios, nestled deep in the Catskill Mountains of New York. In an 2005 interview Tom Blankenship explained that it didn't feel right to go back to the studio that was used for the previous records and that after having added Bo Koster and Carl Broemel to the band, the band felt ready to do things differently (RS). More about the band's time at Allaire Studios can be found here.

Production
Production of the album was headed by John Leckie, famous for previous work with bands such as The Stone Roses and Radiohead. This is the first My Morning Jacket album to feature a producer, as Jim James had assumed the production duties on the band's previous efforts.

Emotional aspect
In a 2010 interview with am New York Tom Blankenship looks back on previous records, commenting on how recording Z affected the band.

"I’m 27 and can’t shake the feeling that this next album will be my last. This album is the sound and feeling of the band wordlessly battling the dark elements and coming through the other side in one stronger piece."

- Tom Blankenship
(am New York interview, October 2010)

Album details
The title & the album cover art
 Both the album title and cover art has been discussed, in a 2005 interview Jim James talks about the title, ultimately saying that he speaks through music and lyrics and that he wanted to get away from speaking with the title of the album and use something that didn't mean anything at all. In a 2006 interview Tom Blankenship commented on the album as well, explaining some misconceptions about the title, read more here. The artist behind the album cover art is Louisville artist Kathleen Lolley, in an interview with LEO weekly from April 2010 Lolley said that she was very honored that Jim James asked her to do the cover, however James originally selected another image, more about that here.

Sound/themes
In a 2005 interview Jim James explained that the band has always tried to progress and that while Z definitely was the most different album they had done, he didn't feel it wasn't radically so (PM). James also stated in a 2008 interview that he considers Z to be a bridge between the older sound and the newer sound (msnbc). Read more about the sound here.

Critical reception

Interviewer: Z has been out for about 18 months now. What's the strangest take on it you've heard so far?
Patrick Hallahan: Somebody emailed me and said Z was the bible of the universe. That's pretty fucking weird [laughs]
Interviewer: How does it feel to be an apostle?
Patrick Hallahan: I had no idea I was an apostle, so it might take some getting used to before I can answer that

Digital Rights Managment
As stated in a Spin Magazine interview Sony BMG, which distributed Z, went against the band's wishes and encoded the CD with copy-protection spyware that made consumers who put the CD into their computers vulnerable to hackers. According to the same interview the band choose to finance a disc-replacement program out of their own pockets.

"Just another example of major-label stupidity, they shot themselves in the foot, they shot us in the foot."

- Jim James
(Spin interview, May 2008)

The band's manager, Mike Martinovich, expressed their dissatisfaction with the technology and it was abandoned on subsequent releases. The band themselves provided information on their website about how to bypass the software, and also offered to burn individual copies of the album for fans, free of copy-protection software.

More coming soonish...

Early recordings

"I don't think you can compare then with now, really. We were much younger then, so obviously the [early songs] sound much different. Plus, the band has gone through so many lineup changes. But I also think that's been fun in a way, ‘cause it means we have a whole roster of stuff that sounds completely different. People might get into it all, or maybe just different periods."

- Jim James, talking about the early recordings
(Jonk Music interview, June 2005)

Early Recordings is a compilation album series that was released in 2004 on Darla Records. The two constituent albums, called chapters, are called The Sandworm Cometh and Learning respectively. The Sandworm Cometh was released on November 15th and Learning on November 23rd.

In an interview (Nude as the News interview, September 2003) with Jim James, he said that the band was excited that the record was finally done and that since they hadn't fit on At Dawn the band had been kicking around some songs on the record for quite a while, namely One Big Holiday, Run Thru, Just One Thing and I Will Sing You Songs.

Recording

"This is the first record where we really feel we're a solid band. We've finally all come together to the point where we're all friends and we all know each other. We've gone through a couple drummers that didn't really work out, that threw the rhythm off. With the last two albums we'd build 'em piece by piece, lay down some initial tracks and then come back to work on them. We all had jobs and didn't have any time. We didn't feel we were the band we could be."

- Jim James
(JamBase interview, January 2004)

"I’ve been forced into retirement from the video store* due to a grueling tour schedule. The band takes a very momentary break from the road to document a collection of sprawling songs, most of which have grown from years of being played live ."

- Tom Blankenship
(am New York interview, October 2010)
* During the recording of the previous two records Blankenship worked as a video-store clerk (am New York) 

In a 2003 interview with Billboard Jim James explains how playing the songs live over an extended period before recording them helped the songs develop.

"That's one of the coolest things about being able to play so much before we made the record. When you initially write a song, it's one way. After you've played it live for a year, it totally turns into a different beast. It gets stronger and more powerful."

- Jim James
(Billboard interview, September 2003)

Album details

We like to think of it as psychedelic honey [laughter]. All over his face… we literally were up there for a day with the bear. We put costumes on him, we put tinsel on his head, tinsel on his feet, hats on him, gloves on his paws."

- Jim James, talking about the bear of the cover of It Still Moves
(JamBase interview, January 2004)

"Something called to me and I got this image in my head of the record cover. There's a barn out on the farm where we record and it's got this ceiling structure (visible on the cover) that blew my mind the first time I saw it. It reminded me of the inside of the belly of a whale. I don't know why but I had this vision of a bear in front of this ceiling. So, we rented this big 9-foot bear and moved him around and took pictures of him. There's something about his face. You put it down into black and white it's just an awesome image to me."

- Jim James, talking about the bear of the cover of It Still Moves
(JamBase interview, January 2004)

"I was looking up in the loft when we practised and imagined a bear in it"

- Jim James, talking about the cover photography
(The Age interview, March 2004)

Jim James: It was out at our old studio, which was on my cousin’s grandparents’ farm, in Shelbyville, Kentucky. We rented this big taxidermic grizzly bear, and it’s so funny when I think back on it, because you could just, like, Photoshop that kind of shit in. But we didn’t.
Sam Erickson: If we had tried to do it digitally, it just wouldn’t have been as cool.
Jim James: Yeah, I agree. I’m so glad we didn’t. But it’s hilarious to look back, in retrospect, and think about seven grown men hefting a stuffed grizzly bear up through this hole in the side of a barn.

(Vanity Fair interview, May 2009)

Sound

"As of late I'm not quite of liberty to say anything. Top secret. It will be rockin'. And it will be mysterious. And it will be quiet. And it will feature instruments and people."

- Jim James
(Pitchfork interview, August 2002)

 As stated in a 2004 interview with JamBase the band han help with the sound of horns on the record.

"We went down and did that with Willie Mitchell, who did stuff with Al Green and Anne Peebles. We flew down to Memphis and did it with them because we wanted it to sound as authentic and old as possible."

"The band records its next album over a three-day weekend in the summer of 2000. The record remains … the best of what’s possible with a one-inch tape machine, pieced-together equipment and late nights spent making each other howl with laughter as much as creating music."

 - Tom Blankenship
(am New York interview, October 2010)

"We locked ourselves in for many days with all the necessary elements (lights, candles, Madonna’s Immaculate Collection, Dreamcast and cookies) and we just started cooking."

 - Jim James
(Philadelphia Citypaper interview, June 2001)

Sound/themes

"I love big, huge open sounds, such as vocals cut far away from the mic in a big room (i.e. Exile on Main Street ), and also huge drum sounds (i.e. Led Zeppelin). I just love atmosphere. I love hearing the rooms where the songs were recorded, chairs creaking, crickets and the like. (...) It feels like love and rhymes with childbirth. I think Darla’s music is all based loosely around the same beautiful feelings of pleasure and color. There is a black vibe that runs through it all, but it is also so very colorful."

- Jim James
(Philadelphia Citypaper interview, June 2001)

Dave Grohl
In the August issue of Spin Magazine Dave Grohl mentions My Morning Jacket when asked about what inspires him. "It's when you hear an album that inspires you to write and play yourself. It's just all about the shameless fucking naked passion. Like the (...) Or the first time I heard My Morning Jacket's At Dawn - it still makes me cry."

Recording
 Pre-recording

"I’m a 20-year-old video-store clerk playing in a band. A bandmate gives me a cassette for another project he’s working on. ... I listen to the tape, amazed that this hilarious dude Jim has written these beautiful songs."

 - Tom Blankenship
(am New York interview, October 2010)

Sound/themes

I first got the demo tape given to me by the drummer Jeremy maybe 6 or 8 months before I joined the band. Most of the album had already been completed. Number one: I was blown away by this guy Jim, who was the same age as me but could write these haunting yet kinda poppy sounding songs. What I loved about the album was that it had all these familiar elements that I'd never heard put together before. I couldn't put my finger on what the sound was or how to describe.

(JamBase interview, 2010)

 Critical reception
Not long after the release of the album a journalist in the Netherlands found out about the record and wrote a long, gushing story about the band and from there it snowballed. In a 2003 interview with PopMatters Johnny Quaid explains how the band ended up being so popular in the Netherlands.

"The writer had a friend who worked in a record shop who gave him a copy of Tennessee Fire and said 'You need to listen to this,' Then he went on to write this article about how the album made him feel like a kid, and how amazing it was. The next thing we knew, we're sitting in Kentucky working our day jobs, and we get a phone call from someone who wants to fly us to the Netherlands. The first thing we did was get a map to figure out where it was."

- Johnny Quaid
(PopMatters interview, October 2003)

The name of the album

Before I joined the band, I remember pulling up to the studio in Shelbyville. I was in a band called Winter Death Club at the time, and we'd have practice after My Morning Jacket practice. At the time MMJ was just a 3-piece of two guitars, drums and vocals. They even played a few shows with that lineup, which is how [The Tennessee Fire] was mainly recorded. I remember pulling up and hearing that Jimmy had got a record contract with Darla but he didn't know what to name the band. I think he maybe wanted to call the band The Tennessee Fire at one time. As far as I know, that's how it came about, that and the picture inside the album of the Tennessee fireworks store where the 'works' is cut off.

- Tom Blankenship
(JamBase interview, 2010)

Around the time of the album
How Two Tone Tommy came to be

“I really should have a funny story by now. J. Glenn, the drummer on the first two records, used to leave funny messages on my answering machine all the time and one of them was three minutes long with him giving me all these different monikers — one of them was Two Tone Tommy, which he repeated over and over again. So when Tennessee Fire was being put together I was asked, ‘Do you want to use your real name?’ And I was like, No, not really, so I picked Two Tone Tommy. After a show, if I have my hair up in a ponytail no one knows who I am. Even if they do recognize me, it’s always, ‘Tommy?’ or ‘Two Tone?’ I don’t even respond to it because I’m just not used to it in my everyday life”
