FB’s A Shot In The Arm member Leonardo Tissot interviewed John Stirratt for the Brazilian website Scream & Yell which got this golden nugget of info.

 

John : “I think Wilco will try to make a record remotely over this winter, and see how that works. We did try it with the song "Tell Your Friends" and it came out quite good.”

 

Here’s the original Portuguese version.

That is a great quote from John and very exciting. Seems pretty clear that they have something planned!

I have to say, I imagine, after taking 2018 and the first half of 2019 off, this pandemic (and taking at least a year off of touring) was not at a great time financially for the guys. I know they don't make a ton of money off records these days but if they did a physical only version or put it up on Bandcamp instead of streaming I'm sure the fans would rally to help support them... if they felt like they needed it.

Yeah, I think Jeff's publishing keeps him going okay, but for the band as a whole, and their crew (my buddy just joined as guitar tech) I think months without touring is pretty hard.
