Are you a part of My Morning Jacket‘s fan club? Yeah, us neither. But we’ve got a track called Octoplasm from their fan club for your listening pleasure, along with a message from the band about their “Self-Hypnosis Series.”
Earlier this week we brought you the band’s first single and title track from their new album Circuital, out May 31. Now listen to Octoplasm below:
About the Self-Hypnosis Series:
“My Morning Jacket would like to welcome all those who join the new MMJ Roll Call fan club into their much talked about and highly controversial “Self-Hypnosis Series” as well. The Self-Hypnosis Series will begin an exploration into the core of each individual heart, mind, body, and soul that joins the Roll Call fan club.
Based on a desire to help each individual fan reach a state of emotional bliss, a new algorithm was recently developed at Removador HQ. It can sense listeners temperature and emotional climate at the time of listening-thru any listening device, be it speakers or headphones, and cater a listening experience truly unique for each listener.
MMJ will carefully handcraft and carve pieces of music that will provide a vehicle for the listener to enter a new gateway of self exploration and understanding based on their current state of mind at the time of each listen. The Self-Hypnosis Series will start with a piece entitled “Octoplasm” which will be available via download immediately upon joining Roll Call. New titles in the Self-Hypnosis series will appear randomly, or on a strict schedule and will be available only to Roll Call members. We hope you are to enjoy!”
Well, not only Roll Call members.

This reminds me a lot of when the Grateful Dead would jam with Branford Marsalis. Those opening guitar notes are clearly channeling Jerry Garcia. Love it!
Interesting concept. Never been a fan, but I like it. Trippy song. Makes me wish I had mushrooms….
This is sooo sweet… I adore MMJ. For me, the trippiest, the better!
Soul music! love it.
I failed to enter a new gateway of understanding. I must be doing it wrong.
I enjoy this band. Octoplasm sounds like 5 guys noodling around on their instruments.
is MMJ becoming this generation’s Grateful Dead?
