Video | My Morning Jacket Original Debuts At One Big Holiday

This Spring, My Morning Jacket will finally release the follow-up to 2011’s Circuital as the first of two new studio albums expected to come out by the end of 2016. MMJ premiered three originals at their One Big Holiday event earlier this year, which may give us a taste of what to expect when the album comes out.

COMPOUND or COMPOUND FRACTURE

My Morning Jacket debuted a song called either “Compound” or “Compound Fracture” in Mexico on February 1.

Take a look at YameYims video of the tune:
