My Morning Jacket Already Writing New Album

Fresh off the release of their latest album, 'Evil Urges', My Morning Jacket is busy plotting their next one.

"I'm already writing songs for the new record," frontman Jim James told the BBC. "The process is weird because whenever we make a record, the songs come from one or two years of life that you've lived. Then, when it comes out, it's a year or two later. So, for me personally, I'm working on the next thing."

MMJ is currently supporting the disc with a run of European festivals, but will return to the States to play a hometown gig at Louisville's Waterfront Park in August, among a short run of Southern dates. A fall tour gets underway in Berkeley, Calif. on Sept. 19, with the band closing out 2008 with a headlining gig at Madison Square Garden on New Year's Eve.
