Wilco announce new double album, Cruel Country

Wilco has announced a new double album. On May 27, the group will release Cruel Country via dBPM. It’s their second double album, following 1996’s Being There, and the first track they’ve shared is titled “Falling Apart (Right Now)”.

Jeff Tweedy says “there have been elements of Country music in everything we’ve ever done. We’ve never been particularly comfortable with accepting that definition, the idea that I was making Country music. But now, having been around the block a few times, we’re finding it exhilarating to free ourselves within the form, and embrace the simple limitation of calling the music we’re making Country.”

Wilco’s last album was 2019’s Ode to Joy.
