Wowed Out

The latest studio album from Jim James, from My Morning Jacket, will be released Friday, August 28th, 2026. "Wowed Out" is James' 1st solo recording in 8 years. This album draws on material that James originally contributed to 2 film scores in the 2010's and then revisited for this project. James explains, “For years I kept returning to all this music we’d made and couldn’t figure out what to do with it. But for some reason, last year everything started flowing in a really beautiful way”.

“Come Again” is the 1st single from the forthcoming release. The music is said to originate from a scene set in a teddy bear factory but then evolved into a kaleidoscopic but forward moving meditation on resilience in the face of chaotic instability. James, himself, notes, “‘Come Again’ came from feeling discouraged by how much things are changing in directions I don’t agree with, but trying to remember that there’s still so much beauty to be experienced. You’ve got to just keep going and keep trying again and again and again to find joy”.
