My Morning Jacket Carve Out A Sanctuary With "Peacelands"

Written By: Big C

Peace isn’t passive, it’s something you build together. In a moment shaped by unrest and urgency, My Morning Jacket answer with Peacelands, a quietly powerful acoustic release that trades spectacle for solidarity. Recorded live at EastWest Studios, the collection strips beloved originals and timeless covers down to their emotional core. It’s music offered as refuge, listening as an act of care. The project takes its name from an imagined world created by visual artist Mark Anthony Mulligan, a place rooted in equality, dignity, and mutual regard.

Frontman Jim James describes "Peacelands" as a vision worth striving toward, especially in moments when empathy feels endangered. His words frame the album not as commentary, but as participation and a reminder that peace is something practiced, not promised. Released exclusively via Bandcamp, "Peacelands" directs all proceeds to organizations doing vital work on the ground, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Doctors Without Borders, and the International Rescue Committee. In choosing intimacy over amplification, My Morning Jacket offer a record that listens as much as it speaks. Experience "Peacelands" now and support the communities it stands beside.
