New Wilco Album Could be Ready for September Release
Chicago rock band Wilco is midway through mixing its eighth studio album, which may be ready for release in September, drummer Glenn Kotche said Monday during an interview about the band’s forthcoming Solid Sound Festival at MassMoCA in North Adams, Mass.
Wilco has been working since last year on the album, which singer Jeff Tweedy has said is tentatively titled “Get Well Soon Everybody.” Whatever the name, it's the follow-up to 2009's "Wilco (The Album)," which climbed to No. 4 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
Kotche said there’s plenty of new material to choose from.
“There’s a lot of songs, and I don’t think any of us have a clear idea of what will make the record and what won’t, or how long the record will be,” Kotche said. “We’ll just have to see what works best together.”
Some of those songs could end up in the band’s set lists at Solid Sound, where Wilco plays two shows during the three-day festival, happening June 24-26. (Other performers include Levon Helm, Thurston Moore, Liam Finn, Johnny Irion & Sarah Lee Guthrie and the Handsome Family. More information, and the full lineup, is available here).
It’s the second version of Solid Sound, though Kotche wasn’t able to spend much time at the first one last August.
“Last year was a mixed experience for me, because my son was due that week,” he says. “I was actually only there for one day.”
Wilco’s new album will be the band’s first full-length release on its own record label, dBpm, which opened earlier this year in the Easthampton, Mass., office of Wilco’s manager, Tony Margherita.

Well, let's see... I am a triplet (two sisters the same age as me) and I have an older brother. My one sister likes Lady Gaga and that type of music played on the radio. My other sister is the one who got me into listening to Wilco. She also loves The Clash, Bob Dylan and Janis Joplin etc. I recently got her into Tom Waits, Dr. Dog, Heartless Bastard and Patti Smith etc. My brother is 3 years older and is a fan of bands like Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, My Bloody Valentine, Queens of the Stone Age, Black Sabbath. The good thing is all four of us are very accepting of each other musical tastes. We'll all listen to just about anything, though I really can't stand listening to the radio when driving with my sister... those remixed songs she loves!

I'm not really sure why yet, but I really like the working title and I hope it becomes official. On another note, wasn't the working title for YHF "Here Comes Everybody?" Just wondering...

From Facebook:
While in Toronto, Jeff Tweedy taped an interview and performance of a new song for the CBC's Stombo show. It airs tonight in Canada and will be available online Monday, here: -
I thought the same thing. Did anyone pull down any audio before the video was pulled?
I did!
