Wilco
Wilco rose from the ashes of the seminal roots rockers Uncle Tupelo, who disbanded in 1994. While Jay Farrar, one of the group's two singer/songwriters, went on to form the band Son Volt, his ex-partner Jeff Tweedy established Wilco along with the remaining members of Tupelo's final incarnation, which included drummer Ken Coomer as well as part-time bandmates John Stirratt (bass) and Max Johnston (mandolin, banjo, fiddle, and lap steel). Guitarist Jay Bennett rounded out the group, which in 1995 issued their debut album, A.M., a collection of s...[more]

VINYL FORMAT + Bonus CD! Insound Staff Pick - 2008! Few bands can call themselves contemporaries of both the heartbreakingly earnest self-destruction of Whiskeytown and the alienating experimentation of Radiohead's post-millennial releases, but on the painstaking "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot," Wilco seem to have done just that. The long-anticipated "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" continues their genre-jumping and worthwhile experimentation.

Another giant step in Wilco's evolution from alternative country pioneers to genre-bashing sonic daredevils. It's full of extended guitar reveries and rave-ups, hushed late night balladry, orchestral pop, and beautifully sculpted noise that more than lives up to the promise of its illustrious predecessor, "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot." Wilco proves that unwavering artistic vision can survive and ultimately triumph in this era of increasingly disposable music and corporate confusion. Their newest work is equally ic [ read more ]

Summer Teeth is the most focused Wilco effort yet, honing the lessons of the last record to forge a majestic pop sound almost completely devoid of alt-country elements; the lush string arrangements and gorgeous harmonies of tracks like "She's a Jar" and "Pieholden Suite" suggest nothing less than a landlocked Brian Wilson, while more straightforward rockers like the opening "I Can't Stand It" bear the influence of everything from R&B to psychedelia. Recommended.

In 1999, Wilco willingly abdicated their position as one of the leading acts in the alt-country movement to dive head-first into the challenging waters of experimental pop with their album Summerteeth, and moved even further away from their rootsy origins with Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and A Ghost Is Born, winning the group a new and enthusiastic audience along the way. So it might amuse a number of the band's earlier fans that in many respects Wilco's sixth studio album, Sky Blue Sky, so [ read more ]
