When I first heard of the band My Morning Jacket back in the early 2000's, their name threw me off. I figured they were just another crap wannabe band like My Chemical Romance or My Bloody Valentine or any other band starting with the word "my." Boy, was I wrong.When I watched Okonokos 2 years ago it was the first time I actually heard My Morning Jacket songs. The band members themselves were a sight to behold: half of them looked like they came to this band after a long haul in a heavy metal group and the other half looked like Grizzly Adams. But it was the music they played that hooked me, as well as the surreal stage they were playing on.
If you haven't heard of this band before, I definitely recommend checking them out. The film itself is extremely mellow and every time I watch it I feel like I'm dreaming. Check out "One Big Holiday" from Okonokos via the link below. Try not to get too hypnotized by Jim James' amazing reverb.
