Critical acclaim for 'Circuital', released 6th June on V2 Records:

"Tremendous… Circuital sees them negotiating their place in the world with heartening vigour" MOJO - 4 Stars ****

"The work of a band with a reinvigorated sense of their own identity… These songs share a thread of kinship which bind them together" - Uncut - 4 Stars ****

"The band are back to their best." - Sunday Times - 4 Stars ****

"Circuital combines their experience with a rediscovered youthful zest… The best songs here are the most resplendent: 'Wonderful', a simple hymn to devotion; and the stunning closer 'Movin' Away', a joyful/tearful farewell of almost unbearable beauty." - The Guardian - 4 Stars ****

"MMJ's best album… producer Tucker Martine expertly eliciting the synergistic quality of a band in perfect harmony." - The Independent - 4 Stars ****

"One of America's most significant bands… Every album is an event. Circuital is no exception and possibly their prettiest yet… Deserves to propel them to even bigger audiences" - The Sun - 4 Stars ****

"Amassing all the skill, rich flavours and collective strength from their already superb career on this, their sixth album…" - The Mirror - 4 Stars ****

"Another fine My Morning Jacket album" - Mail on Sunday – 4 Stars ****

"The record is an eclectic mix of the wide-ranging musical elements they've come to encompass over the years, driving its way through the musical spectrum, delivering the goods at every turn" - Artrocker - 4 stars ****

"An attractive blend of wonder and menace." - Evening Standard - 4 Stars ****

"MMJ's constant experimenting is something special." - The Fly - 4 Stars ****

"The songs are confident, fresh and penetrating… 'Circuital' will keep you listening for months on end, and loving every minute of it." - Clash - 8/10

"Possibly their most impressive work to date… Majestic" - NME - 7/10

"My Morning Jacket have gone back to what they do best for their sixth album." - The Observer

"There is much to love within Circuital… 'You Wanna Freak Out' is a yearning early 70s McCartney-styled love song; 'Wonderful' is a gorgeous James Taylor-fashioned country picker" - Q
