My Morning Jacket has christened its fifth studio album "Evil Urges." The set is due June 10 via ATO and was recorded in New York late last year with co-producer Joe Chiccarelli.
Meanwhile, the band’s first career show at Radio City Music Hall in New York, set for June 20, sold out in 22 minutes, according to a band spokesperson.
First, MMJ will be on hand for the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, where it will play a March 13 show at Austin Music Hall. Frontman Jim James will also play a March 15 solo gig at Austin’s St. David’s Church.
In addition, the band will join indie stalwarts Yo La Tengo for a March 10 SXSW warm-up at Houston’s Verizon Wireless Theatre.
