album of the week - Wilco (The Album)

Today i'd like to tell you about a new album i just got. It may benefit no one, but just the same, it has me captivated. Wilco (The Album)


This band has been on the edge of mainstream and experimental, ready to tip to either side at any given moment.

Key tracks are: Bull Black Nova, You and I, and Deeper Down.

Bull Black Nova is written from the point of view of a man who has just killed his girlfriend. Morbid, yes. But the instrumentals are phenomenal and his vocals are flawed perfectly.

You and I features canadian indie folk singer Feist on the first duet ever on a Wilco album. This song is about a man and a woman trying top keep their relationship together. very good song. Itunes has said that if this song doesnt make your Best of 2009 playlist then you have a heart of stone.

Deeper Down is just a song i like. i really have no interperetation for it.

The whole album is fantastic and you should listen to it even if you dont enjoy this type of music.

If you do happen to like it i would reccomend The Crane Wife album by the Decemberists and Oh, Inverted World by the Shins.
