Last night, My Morning Jacket appeared on Late Night with Conan
O’Brien in support of its new album Evil Urges. The quintet
ran through the album’s centerpiece ‘Touch Me I’m Gonna Scream Part 2’
with a three-piece ‘indie-rock choir’ that included
film-star-turned-singer Zooey Deschanel. Recently, Deschanel has been
touring with longtime MMJ collaborator M. Ward under the name She &
Him. Ward has performed, recorded and sat in with MMJ numerous times
over the years, most recently at this year’s Coachella. He also toured
with Jim James and Bright Eyes under the name Monsters of Folk.
Deschanel is expected to join the group this evening at Radio City
Music Hall.
