If you turn to page 104 in the March issue of Dwell Magazine, there is a feature on Architect Bertrand Goldberg, with a picture of the cover of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. The caption reads "Chicago indie rockers Wilco used the Marina City towers for the cover of their album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (top left); we think Goldberg (top right) would be pleased."

"As the graphic designer and art director who worked with Wilco on creating the artwork for their album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, I was happy to see the cover live on in the Bertrand Goldberg article ("Archive," December/January 2008). The writer, Aaron Britt, muses that Goldberg would be pleased with the use of the Marina City towers on the album cover. Well, while I was working with the band on the packaging for their 2007 album Sky Blue Sky, frontman Jeff Tweedy shared that Goldberg's children did in fact approach him after a Wilco concert. They confirmed that their father would have been quite pleased with the use of the building on the cover, and mentioned how happy they were that it was introduced to so many in a new context.
