My Morning Jacket celebrated the release of The Waterfall II with a Wednesday-night performance on The Tonight Show.
The Louisville rockers selected "Spinning My Wheels" for the gig, a track that inspired the release of The Waterfall II - composed of leftover tracks from the album's 2015 predecessor.
"While out on a walk, [frontman Jim James] placed his music library on shuffle and soon stumbled upon ‘Spinning My Wheels,’ a tender rumination on the struggle for presence, its lyrics confessing to feeling ‘hypnotized from doing the same old thing.’ Struck by the song’s enduring relevance, James revisited the other tracks reserved from the Panoramic House sessions and found that they invited a welcome moment of self-reflection—an outcome perhaps even more perfectly suited to the chaos of the current day than the circumstances of their recording," read an earlier press release.
In other MMJ news, in addition to The Waterfall II, the band has an entire album of new originals in the works as well.
