Good news for Wilco fans- Jeff Tweedy announced today he plans to have a new Wilco album sealed and delivered for Spring 2009. The album will be the bands seventh studio release and follow up to 2007’s mellow and straight forward Sky Blue Sky and 2004’s much more experimental A Ghost Is Born.
A couple of new tunes, “One Wing” and “Sunny Feeling” have been played live recently, but it’s unknown if they will be included on the recording or will even channel the process. Tweedy described Blue Sky as a very performance based record and a documentation of the band at that time. Expect the new album to be a bit more polished, as Tweedy said “we’ll allow ourselves a little bit more leeway in terms of sculpting the sound in the studio and doing overdubs and using the studio as another instrument.”
Wilco wraps a summer North American tour this weekend at San Francisco’s first Outside Lands Festival which QC will be covering live.
