Seems like you got the vibe it caused problems? They still have a few of the pages out there https://wilcoworld.net/song/pittsburgh/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
knotgreen Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I tried searching various URLs related to their webshop with "/cousin" and couldn't find anything. A release feels imminent but it is fun finding these things pre-announcement! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The one-year anniversary of Cruel Country (digital version anyway) is this weekend I think. Maybe that gets its last moment in the spotlight and then the news comes in the next week or two? I'd think an announcement would at the very least come before Jeff's solo tour next month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I think that's a pretty good guess. I was hoping for this week but usually music gets announced Monday - Thursday so if it hasn't been made yet it won't be this week... probably. Then again, Locator got released as a one year celebration of Star Wars with no mention of Schmilco at the time. The album was shortly after sleuthed by VCers, IIRC. The band announced it shortly after. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 This is exciting news. I've been on a three record losing streak with Wilco. Hopefully this new one will be something very different than the last three and my streak will come to an end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

u2roolz Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Cousin - Hmm. Interesting title considering that they took the stage to the Succession theme song last month and there’s a character called Cousin Greg. Or it could be a nod to some of the other most memorable cousins on tv shows: Cousin Balki, Cousin Oliver & Cousin It. The one thing that I think that connects all 4 characters are that they are outliers and I wonder if that plays into this record amongst the Wilco discography. {possibly pulled a muscle on that stretch} Songs: As others here have mentioned, a few of them have debuted on The Tweedy Show & Starship Casual. I feel like I’m Kind Of In Love With You and Say I Love You Again could be on here, but got retitled to an unrecognizable title. I listened to those two again over the past week, since this news broke and not one lyric comes up in the ten song titles on Cousin. Maybe it is on there. I didn’t recognize The Plains when I scanned the Cruel Country track list against the unreleased Tweedy Show songs. Sunlight Ends was performed on Danny’s front porch. That was a beauty. Infinite Surprise was performed a few times on the couch. I have a faint memory of the song taking a new direction in the last half of the song, whenever he played it the second time. Others have covered ground with the songs that we definitely know. Reddit rumor: a certain someone (Solid Sound & SBS alum) produced the record. I’m looking forward to this record dethroning Cousin Greg & Cousin Balki as my favorite Cousin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That’s really the only tidbit on that thread. That would be an oddly specific and Wilco relevant collaboration to mistakenly invent. There's likely some truth to it, but I'd only be wary of the specific role, i.e. 'Album produced by x', vs 'Tracks 2, 4, and 7 produced by x', or even 'Track 3 co-produced by x, additional vocals and guitar by x'.

Just did a google search for Wilcoworld and Cousin and "I Feel Like I'm Kind of in Love With You" came up as a b-side/extra non album track for the Cousin album (as of 8 days ago apparently). Neat! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DimetappandSpinalTap Posted Thursday at 06:20 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:20 PM I wonder if Cousin is a reference to The Bear, which prominently featured two Wilco tracks (including an entire one-shot episode set to the Kicking Television version of "Spiders (Kidsmoke)"), and is set in Chicago. Two of the main characters call each other "Cousin" as a term of endearment, although they are not, actually cousins. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coldasgasoline Posted Thursday at 06:56 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:56 PM With his new book coming out Nov 7, we think this might come out Nov 10. Seems like Warm came out in the same press cycle and timing as “Let’s go…..”, just speculating here….. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
