Copy of email from Wilco HQ below gives all the details. I think this is the leftover tracks from Cousins that Jeff mentioned in an interview when it came out (in Uncut I think). HOT SUN COOL SHROUD New EP Out June 28 via dBpm Records A new EP just in time for summer (and Solid Sound)! Hot Sun Cool Shroud features six new tracks from Wilco that have a summertime-after-dark kind of feeling.

Thanks. Good thing there weren’t any! 😊👍

Using your ‘Yes’ rating system (hope you don’t mind 😁) here are mine after 2 listens 1. Yes! Yes! 2. Yes! Yes! 3. Yes! Yes! Yes! 4. Yes 5. Yes! Yes! 6. Yes! Yes! Yes! 7. Yes! Yes! Yes! 8. Yes! Yes! Yes! 9. Yes 10. Yes! Yes! Maybe I’m more easily pleased, but I already rate it very highly and suspect it will only grow in my estimation 🤞

Not given to long posts (or posting much at all!), but I have to come in here and say how much I already love this record. There's so much depth to the songs here, plus great instrumental touches. An earlier post compared Wilco's latter-day trajectory to those of Neil Young and Bob Dylan. In Neil's case, sad to say, his best days are long behind him, whilst Bob continues to hit peak after peak, albeit by refining an established style, working within limitations (voice) and still creating lyrically.. Wilco are on a similar track to Bob, in my opinion, confirmed by Cruel Country. I don't expect

No, I haven't. So it's not just me. I was getting twitchy about this some weeks ago (as friends going to Brixton have theirs already), so I contacted Songkick. Their reply said not to worry as they will be sent nearer the date.

Capitol City, a light, wide-eyed shuffle that almost seems like a vehicle for some soft-shoe footwork. The childlike overtones of the song bring out a bright innocence in Tweedy's singing. The tune is a real trip, though. It musically borrows from the kinds of wheezy keyboard colors Garth Hudson might have created decades ago with The Band. Exactly. I hear a lot of The Band in Wilco - and this is one of the reasons I really like this track.

Yes, still waiting (but not 'still dreaming') - getting rather impatient actually!

This is practically impossible, but.. Ashes of American Flags Pieholden Suite Via Chicago How to Fight Loneliness Company inmy Back Muzzle of Bees More Like The Moon Jesus etc Poor Places One By One

Sorry Laughing Dog. I just checked the Wilco Book - I'm wrong. TWL is brilliant, I think. I stopped listening after Dawned on Me to save some thrills for the 27th. I've only got another hour and a quarter to hang on!

I think Diamond Claw is a Leroy tune, isn't it?

I started listening to it on NPR last night and I was hooked from the first chords. He manages the neat trick of sounding 'epic', without ever getting into Snowplay territory. It reminds me of Jim O'Rourke in places - albeit a 'mainstream' Jim O'Rourke. It's a totally beautiful album.

It's considered an 'embarrassment' mainly by true Beefheart fans I think - but because of that, it doesn't get much attention from anyone else. I think it's a fantastic album. 'Observatory Crest', for one, is a great song, which Mercury Rev covered a few years back. More people should give it a listen.

Also, see this http://www.4shared.com/dir/26406914/edef1cb/RC3.html . It seems to have everything put up so far.

Me too. Thanks for the link !

Whether it's good, bad, or indifferent would anyone be kind enough to PM me and help a UK-based fan to get hold of this ? We can't get it through Best Buy, iTunes, Zune or any other source that I can find.Thanks .
