Jeff Tweedy announces new album, Twilight Override and shares four tracks
Wilco's Jeff Tweedy has announced his new album, Twilight Override, alongside the release of four new tracks – “One Tiny Flower,” “Out In The Dark,”, “Stray Cats in Spain,” and “Enough”.
“When you choose to do creative things, you align yourself with something that other people call God. And when you align yourself with creation, you inherently take a side against destruction. You’re on the side of creation. And that does a lot to quell the impulse to destroy. Creativity eats darkness,” Tweedy explains.
“Twilight sure is a pretty word, though. And the world is full of happy people in former empires, so maybe that’s not the only source of this dissonance. Whatever it is out there (or in there) squeezing this ennui into my day, it’s fucking overwhelming. It’s difficult to ignore. Twilight Override is my effort to overwhelm it right back. Here are the songs and sounds and voices and guitars and words that are an effort to let go of some of the heaviness and up the wattage on my own light. My effort to engulf this encroaching nighttime (nightmare) of the soul.”
Arriving five years after 2020’s pandemic-era reflection, Love Is The King, the forthcoming three-disc album, Twilight Override was recorded and self-produced by Tweedy at his Chicago studio, The Loft, and features Chicago-based friends and family: James Elkington, Sima Cunningham, Macie Stewart, Liam Kazar, and Tweedy’s children Spencer and Sammy.
In conjunction, Tweedy announces an extensive full band North American and European tour, kicking off in October, and concluding at London’s Islington Assembly Rooms on 20 February.
