To say that I just "like" Wilco is a grand understatement. They are arguably one of my favorite bands of all time and Jeff Tweedy is certainly up there with some of favorite songwriters of all time. So, to hear new material from them after an album that I thought was just alright compared to their whole discography (it was still better than most album I heard last year... that's how great they are) gets me extremely excited. Their newest single, "I Might" was released along with a cover of Nick Lowe's "I Love My Label" (a great song to cover considering this is Wilco's first release on their very own new label, dBpm) at this past weekend's Solid Sound Festival, Wilco's festival. I gotta' say that this new single is superb. I love the vibe, the instrumentation, and the production. And no, I am not just saying that because I love Wilco. I really think "I Might" is a great song and will lead to a fantastic new album, which will hopefully be out this September. Tweedy has also hinted that the album will be entitled The Whole Love. I haven't been this excited for an album in a long time. Let's hope it's another classic from these gents.
