As Stereogum notes, My Morning Jacket’s Jim James spoke of a potential follow-up to ‘The Waterfall’ on a number of occasions following the album’s release.
According to the outlet, the idea for the companion LP came about during the coronavirus-enforced lockdown, when James listened to a ‘Waterfall II’ cut which still felt relevant. It’s also said that the band had considered ‘The Waterfall’ as a trilogy before settling on two parts.
