Chicago’s own, Wilco will release their 10th studio album,Schmilco<\/em>, on Sept. 9, with a special early release for vinyl on Tuesday, Sept. 6 in the US.\u00a0Schmilco<\/em>\u00a0features 12 new songs written by Jeff Tweedy and it is the third release on the band\u2019s own dBpm Records. It follows\u00a0Star Wars<\/em>, which was released for free and as a surprise in July 2015.<\/p>\n

Mostly an acoustic collection,\u00a0Schmilco<\/em>\u00a0bears neither the vicious, fuzz-glam guitars of\u00a0Star\u00a0<\/em>Wars<\/em>,\u00a0nor the dazzling, baroque-ish<\/em>arrangements that fans have come to expect from Wilco. But in their place is a spaciousness and chaos that might feel welcome after 20-some years of enjoyed but now-familiar Wilco releases. It is an intentionally loose affair.<\/p>\n

Schmilco<\/em>\u00a0finds band leader Tweedy in a state of alienation: how to cope withdissonance\u00a0between self-identity and the public perception of his band \u2013 to maintain an innocence and earnestness even as some have come to see him as more (or less) than human, and Wilco as something other than six musicians?<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this record is \u2018joyously negative\u2019,\u201d Tweedy said. \u201cIt\u2019s sad in a lot of ways but not in any that reach a conclusion of doom or hopelessness\u2026 I just had a lot of fun being sour about the things that upset me.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Wilco shared \u201cLocator\u201d from the forthcoming album and today shares \u201cIf I Ever Was A Child.\u201d Both songs are available as an instant download upon pre-ordering the album via\u00a0Wilcoworld.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Recorded at the band\u2019s Chicago studio the Loft,\u00a0Schmilco<\/em>\u00a0is produced by Jeff Tweedy and Tom Schick.<\/p>\n

Wilco is Jeff Tweedy, John Stirratt, Nels Cline, Glenn Kotche, Patrick Sansone and Mikael Jorgensen.<\/p>\n
