Wilco’ s new studio album (possibly entitled ‘Get Well Soon Everybody’) will be out this summer/fall, but the band has announced the release of their first single featuring the two tracks ‘I Might’ and a cover of Nick Lowe’s ‘I Love My Label’. Since it is Wilco’s first work for their own label, dBpm Records, this title seems appropriate.
These songs will be released on a limited-edition clear 7” vinyl at the Solid Sound Festival on June 24-26, then a limited-edition blue version will be available through Wilco’s website on July 18, and the regular black version will be sold in stores. Of course, digital versions will be available for purchase on line.
But pre-orders have already started at Rough Trade since last Thursday: http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_detail.lasso?search_type=sku&sku=340737
Jeff Tweedy recently talked to several rock magazines a few weeks ago, and this is what Rolling Stone reported about this upcoming album:
'The album includes a seven-minute track, "Art of Almost," which starts with shadowy electronics, gently turns into a haunted vocal section, then sprints into a Krautrock-style blowout. There are also two country-flavored songs, the spectral ballad "Black Moon" and the jauntier "Whole Love." "There are two strong threads of material," Tweedy says, "one being a little weirder – snot-nosed obnoxious pop songs – and the other more languid, atmospheric-country music." "Whole Love" grew out of "a chord progression I found interesting," he notes. But the arrangements are the product "of six guys being pretty remarkable at communicating without talking and having a lot of trust in each other.’
It's gonna be Wilco's 8th studio album, but I don't remember much since their 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot'.
