Leak Of The Day: Wilco Blows The Clouds Away

March 1st, 2007 // 5 Comments

Indietastic has a few advance tracks from Wilco’s Sky Blue Sky, which comes out on May 15; the album’s the first Wilco record to feature contributions from Nels Cline and Pat Sansone, and we especially like “You Are My Face,” which has a well-placed guitar solo around the 1:40 mark:

    they must have been listening to ‘wake of the flood’

    Yeah, I’m a little worried that I might hear these songs in a couple years on the softrock station my dentist plays. Maybe these are the “Theologians” of the new album?

    While I’m the first to admit that Jay B. seemed like a (redacted)-bag in the Sam Jones movie, Wilco’s music does seem to have suffered in his absence. Or maybe Jeff was more exciting when medicated? Either way, yawnsville on these tracks.

  4. Pete the Chop

    I dig the new tracks. But I agree with your take on Jay, xtrianrut. As big a prick as he may have been, he was good for the band’s music.

    Yeah he was. Give the new David Vandervelde a listen; he recorded and co-wrote the first (and best track) “nothin no” with JB and it sounds fantastic. The man knows his way around a studio, even if his live solos meander like piss on the sidewalk.
