Jim James, Conor Oberst, M. Ward Recording Together Jim James to adopt "Asian country star" alter ego
Jim James fronts My Morning Jacket, who just released a new album, Evil Urges. Conor Oberst takes the helm for any and all Bright Eyes doings, as well as doings taking place under his own name. And M. Ward-- though primarily a solo artist-- has garnered quite a bit of notice for his recent work with actress-ternt-sanga Zooey Deschanel in She & Him.
Point being, these are people with plenty going on for themselves. And yet, according to a tidbit in a recent Rolling Stone piece, these busy fellas have freed up enough time to whip up a collaborative LP. Woo! No other details right now, unfortunately. But there have been rumblings about these guys teaming up for a bit now.
James also offered another piece of highly suspicious news. Rolling Stone reports that he's "making music as an alter ego he describes as an Asian country star named Sec Walkin (after the Evil Urges tune about walking)."
James told RS, "It's such a great country name, like Trace Adkins. Look for us at the top of the charts." Will do, goofball.
While you wait on that little doozy to come to fruition, look for My Morning Jacket on the road throughout the rest of the year-- all the way until New Year's Eve, when they'll play Madison Square Garden to ring in 2009.

lulz at the Trace Adkins bit. this is def some great news. what'll really be great is if Connor doesn't sing and plays instruments only on the album. ok, maybe harmonies wouldn't annoy me

Oberst/James/Ward Album Confirmed
Travel with me to the recent past-- yesterday, to be exact. Way back then, we published a story titled "Conor Oberst/Jim James/M. Ward Album Finally Coming Out?" Well, that question has been answered. And the answer is yes (thank god).
The Monsters of Folk supergroup-- which also features producer/Bright Eyes member Mike Mogis-- release their self-titled debut on September 22 via Shangri-La in North America, Rough Trade in Europe, Spunk in Australia, and P-Vine in Japan. A press release says so and everything.
According to the release, "all four members play every instrument on the album" and the music ranges from "road-worn" to "intimate" to "sun-soaked." The sometime tourmates recorded the LP in Malibu, California and Omaha, Nebraska over a two-year period between other projects. Track titles include "Whole Lotta Losin'" (Zeppelin tribute?), "Temazcal" (named after an ancient sauna), and "Losin Yo Head" ("Yo"!). The rest of the song names are below:
Monsters of Folk:
01 Dear God (sincerely M.O.F.) 02 Say Please 03 Whole Lotta Losin' 04 Temazcal 05 The Right Place 06 Baby Boomer 07 Man Named Truth 08 Goodway 09 Ahead of the Curve 10 Slow Down Jo 11 Losin Yo Head 12 Magic Marker 13 Map of the World 14 The Sandman, the Brakeman and Me 15 His Master’s Voice
