Wilco – Cousin (Vinyl)

Wilco….Cousin. More than just the band’s 13th studio album, it’s a new member of the family.

Recorded in the bands legendary Chicago studioThe Loftover 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 years Cruel Country double album, Cousin sees Wilco back in their more familiar progressive and experimental rock territory.

Adding a unique and new element to the recording process is the attachment of Welsh singer/songwriter Cate Le Bon as producerthe first time an outsider has been actively involved in a Wilco recording session for more than twenty years, since Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.

Le Bon brings her unique musical perspective to the bands trademark sound, and provided them with an inspiring new challenge to push their musical boundaries.
