Background

In December 2014, My Morning Jacket announced that they were working on two new albums. One is to be released in 2015 (which would later be announced as The Waterfall) and the other is to be released in 2016. Lead singer and songwriter Jim James told Rolling Stone that the band had recorded 24 "solid contenders" for the two albums.[2] He also said the band had no intention of making the collection a double album.
