Jim James’ motley crew My Morning Jacket were in London for a headline sell out show in west London and Laura Harvey went behind the scenes for this pictorial feature documenting their day and the results are spectacular.
My Morning Jacket’s seventh full-length album The Waterfall is out now on ATO Records/Capitol Records, including the singles “Spring (Among the Living)” and “Big Decisions”.
