An eleventh studio album will be released by Wilco on October 4th.
Ode To Joy, the veteran band’s first since Schmilco of 2016, is being led by Love Is Everywhere (Beware). “There MUST be more love than hate,” Jeff Tweedy says. “Right?! I’m not always positive we can be so sure. In any case, I’m starting to feel like being confident in that equation isn’t always the best motivation for me to be my best self – it can kind of let me off the hook a little bit when I think I should be striving to contribute more love outside of my comfortable sphere of family and friends.”
“So…I guess the song is sort of a warning to myself that YES, Love IS EVERYWHERE, but also BEWARE! I can’t let that feeling absolve me of my duty to create more.”
The album will spark a long old North American tour for Wilco, keeping them on the road for more than a month from when they start in Toronto on October 8th.
