Wilco working on new album

Oct 28, 2008

Wilco have finished recording demos for the follow-up album to last year's 'Sky Blue Sky'.

The group now plan to start working on the tracks and fleshing them out in their Chicago studio this month.

Guitarist Nels Cline told Rolling Stone: "Sonically it’s going to be a much wilder, much more unexpected record."

Cline added they had plenty of options for the final tracklisting.

He stated: "There’s going to be too much to choose from, right now it’s an embarrassment of riches, for sure."

1. Wilco (The Song)
2. Deeper Down
3. One Wing
4. Bull Black Nova
5. You And I
6. You Never Know
7. Country Disappeared
8. Solitaire
9. I'll Fight
10. Sunny Feeling
11. Everlasting Everything

A new Wilco album..............LOVE IT. I liked "Sky Blue Sky" but not as much as "A Ghost Is Born". "Being There" is Wilco's "Exile On Main Street". M.

At first, I wasn't sure about Sky Blue Sky, but now I love it. I really like all of them though, and I appreciate how different each record is. I've also been collecting their live shows in recent months, and they are an excellent live band. Can't wait to hear the new one.

Feist to make guest appearance on new Wilco album?

Mar 5, 2009

Feist is reportedly making a guest appearance on Wilco's forthcoming album, which is slated for a June release.

The Canadian songstress has teamed up with the Chicago rockers on a tune called 'You And I', reports Rolling Stone. The Smoking Section blog added that "Feist and the dudes in Wilco met at the Grammys last year, and she hit it off with everyone. She's a Wilco fan, and the guys love her music, so they've kept in touch over the past year.

Mr. Tweedy is a huge fan of duets, and wanted to work a duet into the new album. Feist was their first call. Everyone who's heard the song has been 'blown away'".

Here's the tracklist, according to Billboard:

DaveDigsRR · 19 Apr 2008

Can't wait for the new album. I Wander what Wilco The Song will sound like? I hope they come somewhere near Cincy during the summer tour. Last time I saw them was at the Ryman in Nashville in (I think) '07. Not the one that is on the new DVD, but the year before that.

Go, WILCO, Go!

Smiff · 10 Aug 2006

I can't wait for the record either. Here's a clip to the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY7rZZjpcXk

Federico · 12 Jul 2006

Thanks for the link. That certainly whet my appetite.

Smiff · 10 Aug 2006

Mine too. i've been checking setlists of shows posted on the Dime, and I'm surprised that they haven't been playing new songs on the current tour. My guess is that they are promoting the DVD now, and that they'll start pushing the new record when it comes out. I have tickets for the Lowell, Mass. show in July and I'm really looking forward to it.

DaveDigsRR · 19 Apr 2008

FYI, a good source for Wilco setlists is:

wilcobase.com

No downloading or anything there, but a wealth of information.

Smiff · 10 Aug 2006

Thanks Dave. I'll check that out. Another good one is viachicago.org, which has a lot of downloads.

DaveDigsRR · 19 Apr 2008

P.S. The new album is called...... Wilco (the album). Now, the smartass in me wants to make comments about that - brought to you by Wilco (the website), soon to be coming to your town on Wilco (the tour), sponsered by Wilco (the beverage).

But I won't.

Wait, I just did!

Sorry (Wilco [the apology])

PSS, thanks for the heads up on viachicago, Smiff!

Thanks for the link to the site. One of the cool features, for an obsessive, is the pie chart indicating percentage of songs they play from each album at each concert.

My pleasure, and thank you for wilcobase link.. I can't wait to catch Wilco, (the concert). It's an outdoor show at a single A baseball stadium. They are even offering an all-you-can-eat Wilco (the BBQ).

This is confirmed for a June 30 release.

GodsComic · 03 Aug 2006

I'm excited that they are playing 4 shows in Los Angeles in June. It will be a Wilco feast for me.

DaveDigsRR · 19 Apr 2008

Dude, GodsComic, bring out your bootlegging equipment! Or borrow mine!

Federico · 12 Jul 2006

I think this is the cover for the new album.

Smiff · 10 Aug 2006

The album has leaked and is all over the Internet. I'm downloading it now (but will buy it, of course, when it is released). I found it by going onto Twitter search and typing in Wilco.

Smiff · 10 Aug 2006

This is a great record so far. God, I love the Internets!

Well, we made it nearly a month with copies of Wilco (the album) floating around out there before it leaked. Pretty impressive restraint in this day and age. But the inevitable happened last night. Since we know you're curious and probably have better things to do than scour the internet for a download (though we do understand the attraction of the illicit), we've posted a stream of the full album at http://wilcoworld.net/records/thealbum/ . Feel free to refer to it as "wilco (the stream)" if you must.

We also have our usual guilt abatement plan for downloaders. If you have downloaded the record, we suggest you make a donation to one of the band's favorite charities, the Inspiration Corporation -- an organization we've supported in the past & who are doing great work in the city of Chicago. Information and donation button here: http://inspirationcorp.org/.

That's all. Enjoy the stream. Tickets for summer shows, etc. http://wilcoworld.net/tours/ Note that we'll be holding a free online midnight screening of the "Ashes of American Flags" film this Friday night (at both midnight US Central time and again at midnight Pacific). So get the popcorn or whatever together and be sure to log on and tune in on Friday.
