Cousin Wilco SKU: 05149740671 Barcode: 051497406714 23.00 £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: dBpm Records Released Date: 29th September 2023 Buying Format: 1LP Add to basket Reserve Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Wilco announce their new album, Cousin, available worldwide September 29th on dBpm Records, and present its lead single, “Evicted.” Cousin will be available on vinyl, CD and digitally, and is available for pre-order now. This will be the first release under dBpm Records’ new distribution arrangement with Sony Music Entertainment. Wilco’s thirteenth studio album, Cousin, was recorded in the band’s legendary Chicago studio The Loft over a period of two years. The ten new tracks are written by band leader Jeff Tweedy, and feature musical performances by the long time lineup of Nels Cline, Mikael Jorgensen, Glenn Kotche John Stirratt, Pat Sansone and, of course, Tweedy on lead vocals. After a short detour back into their country influenced roots via last year’s Cruel Country double album, Cousin sees Wilco back in their more familiar progressive and experimental rock territory. Tweedy’s singular songwriting voice is in full evidence, with lyrics weaving across a variety of topics from the iconoclastic to the introspective. Adding a unique and new element to the recording process was the attachment of Welsh singer/songwriter Cate Le Bon to the project as producer the first time an outsider has been actively involved in a Wilco recording session for over ten years. Le Bon brought her unique musical perspective to the band’s trademark sound and provided them with an inspiring new challenge to push their musical boundaries. “I’m cousin to the world,” frontman Jeff Tweedy confesses. “I don’t feel like I’m a blood relation, but maybe I’m a cousin by marriage.” Produced by Welsh artist Cate Le Bon, Cousin marks the first time Wilco have worked with an outside producer since Jim O’Rourke’s involvement with Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and Sky Blue Sky. Le Bon’s influences — among them the inclusion of saxophone, cheap Japanese guitars, and a cinematic, New Wave-style drum machine — drive the album into the future. The result is Wilco’s most pointed and evocative album, one related but not tied to our present moment, truly new ground for a band that has tested musical boundaries throughout its lengthy career. Longtime admirers of each other’s work, Wilco and Le Bon first met at the band’s Solid Sound Festival in 2019, where they formed an immediate connection, inspiring Tweedy to invite Le Bon to the band’s famed Chicago studio, The Loft, in 2022 to work on Cousin. Le Bon pushed the band to take risks, repurposing Wilco’s established strengths and challenging them to oppose habits — all the while maintaining what has, for the last thirty years, defined Wilco as a band, their fearlessness, made possible by musical virtuosity and the secret language only a family shares. “The amazing thing about Wilco is they can be anything,” Le Bon says. “They’re so mercurial, and there’s this thread of authenticity that flows through everything they do, whatever the genre, whatever the feel of the record. There aren’t many bands who are able to, this deep into a successful career, successfully change things up.” Le Bon arrived in Chicago to rebuild: to create a scaffold with Glenn Kotche’s architectural drumming and John Stirratt’s contrapuntal bass lines; a scene with Mikael Jorgensen’s cold, lonesome synths, Pat Sansone’s plaintive piano work, and guest instrumentalist Euan Hinshelwood’s mangled saxophones; and a topographic pattern out of Tweedy’s electric guitar bends and Nels Cline’s textural explosions, which Le Bon describes as “the weather,” to carve a path for Tweedy’s yearning lyrics. “Cate is very suspicious of sentiment,” Tweedy says, “but she’s not suspicious of human connection.” With Le Bon’s direction, Cousin evolved into something icier and more nighttime-ish than anything Wilco have created before, while retaining the earnest quality of Tweedy’s lyrics and voice. Tweedy delivers his feelings, now, from an environment that reflects the one we live in and the one inspiring the songs in the first place. The album’s statement on human connection is writ small, revealed in vignettes of the lowest social unit: a pair. “Evicted,” the album’s first single, sees a narrator grappling with his responsibility for losing love counterpointed by Marc Bolan-inspired guitars. “I guess I was trying to write from the point of view of someone struggling to make an argument for themself in the face of overwhelming evidence that they deserve to be locked out of someone’s heart,” comments Tweedy. “Self-inflicted wounds still hurt and in my experience they’re almost impossible to fully recover from.” Artist Wilco Genre Rock And Pop Label dBpm Records Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Infinite Surprise Ten Dead Levee Evicted Sunlight Ends A Bowl and A Pudding Cousin Pittsburgh Soldier Child Meant To Be Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Wilco View Product Quick View Wilco Sky Blue Sky Americana / Country | Nonesuch | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 1st September 2023 £42.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wilco Sky Blue Sky £42.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Nonesuch SKU: 0075597904802 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 1st September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Wilco Cruel Country Americana / Country | Sony Music | 2LP Released 4th August 2023 £25.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Wilco Cruel Country £25.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Sony Music SKU: 05149733679 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 4th August 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Wilco Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Rock And Pop | Nonesuch | 11LP, 180g, 2LP, 7LP, Box Set, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 30th September 2022 £26.00 - £186.00 Select options Wilco Yankee Hotel Foxtrot £26.00 - £186.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Nonesuch Formats: 11LP, 180g, 2LP, 7LP, Box Set, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 30th September 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Wilco Summerteeth Rock And Pop | Rhino | 180g, 5LP, Box Set, CD Released 6th November 2020 £28.00 - £72.00 Select options Wilco Summerteeth £28.00 - £72.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino Formats: 180g, 5LP, Box Set, CD Released Date: 6th November 2020 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Wilco Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Rock And Pop | Rhino | 2LP Released 3rd August 2016 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wilco Yankee Hotel Foxtrot £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino SKU: 0075597966916 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 3rd August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Wilco Alpha Mike Foxtrot: Rare Tracks 1994-2014 Americana / Country | Nonesuch | 4LP Released 25th November 2014 £99.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wilco Alpha Mike Foxtrot: Rare Tracks 1994-2014 £99.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Nonesuch SKU: 7559795440 Formats: 4LP Released Date: 25th November 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more from Wilco Start again More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Brendan Perry Eye of the Hunter / Live at the I.C.A.
