Deluxe Edition of My Morning Jacket's GRAMMY-nominated sixth studio record, Circuital, features the original album plus ten unreleased demos. Rolling Stone wrote in 2011, "Circuital feels like the culmination of the sonic adventures that began with Z - while also capturing the power and dynamics that have made MMJ one of the greatest live bands of their generation." 3 LP set pressed in 3 limited edition colors (distributed at random) and housed in a glow-in-the-dark jacket with fold-out poster.

Fans of Jim James' haunting falsetto will love the new deluxe edition of Circuital. Originally released in 2011, the album marked a milestone for Kentucky-based My MorningJacket. Circuital is a stylistic potpourri peppered with Christian references and ranges from the epic rock of 'Victory Dance' to the spiritual musings on the title track, 'The Day Is Coming' and 'FirstLight' to the playful chastisement of Satanic-rock fans, 'Holdin on to Black Metal,' replete with children's choir. This expanded edition adds ten stripped-down demos that accentuate James' heavenly, reverb-drenched vocals. Musically, these demos feature either James in a solo acoustic setting or with a slim band. Those latter demos can be quite raw, as in the case of the demoed title track — a cacophony of crashing cymbals and rough-hewn banjo, though James' pure vocal never falters. Overall, the studio tracks on the Circuital deluxe edition sound as fresh today as they did when the album debuted more than a decade ago. Say Amen!
