Z is the fourth album by southern rock band My Morning Jacket. This relatively concise (10 tracks in just over 40 minutes) collection features a much spacier sound than previous MMJ releases, making heavy use of synthesizers throughout and incorporating small bits of reggae and dub. The heavy reverb present on the band's past recordings is largely missing here, cleaned up by producer John Leckie, famous for previous work with bands such as The Stone Roses and Radiohead.

Although the fourth track "What a Wonderful Man" has an upbeat, happy sound, singer Jim James told a Louisville magazine that the song was a tribute to a friend who had committed suicide.
