Jim James has teamed with composer Teddy Abrams & the Louisville Orchestra for The Order of Nature, an album of new songs by the My Morning Jacket frontman as well as reimagined versions of tracks from his solo catalog. James also shared first single “Set It to Song” from The Order of Nature, which examines the singer’s “fascination” with the absence of hate in nature.

“The core idea to me is trying to reflect on the fact that nature doesn’t know how to hate,” James said in a statement. “Humans are part of nature obviously, but why do we have this thing called hatred and how do we get rid of it? We’re fighting nature and thinking we can prevail over nature, but we’re killing each other and killing the planet.”

The nine-song The Order of Nature arrives October 18th via Decca Gold; the LP is available to preorder now. The album was recorded in one take with no overdubs during a performance of the piece at the Louisville Orchestra’s annual Festival of American Music on April 7th, 2018.
