Release Notes:
Okonokos is a live album, a concert movie, an
imaginary place- the setting for the ideal My
Morning Jacket concert.
"We dressed stage with lots of leaves, tried to make
it look like a forest," remembers Jim, "and built a
little story through the movie, so there's a
narrative continuing along. I don't wanna give too
much away, I'd rather people saw it themselves. But
we didn't want to do 'My Morning Jacket: Live at The
Fillmore', or 'Live at Shepherd's Bush'. We wanted
to make it mysterious; it's not about a time, or a
place, it's about us playing music, somewhere!"
And what music... Okonokos is like My Morning Jacket
sat down and played the perfect gig, just for you,
with a setlist that'll charm new fans and the
hardcore equally. Lowdown is giddily ecstatic, Jim's
voice and the twin-guitars chiming in unison. Run
Through stretches its arcing Zeppelin riffs out to a
floor-shaking ten minutes, it's mid-song drum'n'bass
breakdown a highlight of every 'Jacket show. The
desolate Dondante similarly draws its drama out past
ten minutes, Jim's ghostly verses giving way to a
guitar solo that challenges Neil Young's Like A
Hurricane for sorrowful eloquence. And a
piano-wrecking, road-ragged stomp through the
head-banging country-rock of Dancefloors shows that
the stage inspires My Morning Jacket to always take
their beloved songs somewhere else."We really go for
it in the studio," Jim laughs, "But it's nice to
open the songs up, when we're playing them live.
When we watched the footage back for the first time,
we were just amazed we lived through it: we filmed
right at the end of a long tour, we were all getting
sick, we were fuckin' slaughtered! A couple of songs
stretched past the ten minute mark there, and
they're my favourite versions of those songs, better
than the album versions."
