Evil Urges is the fifth studio album by My Morning Jacket. It was released by ATO Records on June 10, 2008.[2] Writing began in Colorado, while recording was done in Manhattan.[3] Singer and lead songwriter Jim James said that the band wanted to get away from "normal rock and roll sounds" and emulate more of the band's live sound[4]. Many of the songs were previewed at the 2008 South by Southwest music festival[5]. My Morning Jacket played "I'm Amazed" and "Evil Urges" on Saturday Night Live on May 10, 2008[6]
