My Morning Jacket are great!

I picked up the album 'It still moves' on vinyl this weekend and this is really getting a lot of air time.
It sounds like 'after the goldrush' period Young mixed up with a bit of Mercury Rev/flaming lips. Although it is more mainstream and less avant garde than either Rev/Lips the music is still fantastically chilled out, intelligent and has great guitar parts and melodies that hook you in without a fight.
I suppose you could try to shoe horn them into 'indie rock' or 'alt country' genres but in truth they are a lot more than that and really have a sound of their own despite the influences.
Recording and production is interesting as the album was recorded in a barn in Kentucky and has a real nice live vibe about it. Heavy reverb is used to add to this feel. On vinyl this is captured very well and I am glad I choose this format for this particular purchase.
I can imagine this album being listened to a lot. If you fancy picking up some new music over xmas then this has my utmost recommendation.
