Wilco announce new album ‘Cousin’ and share single ‘Evicted’

Wilco have announced plans to release their 13th studio album ‘Cousin’ and shared new single ‘Evicted’ – which you can listen to below.

The record, which has been produced by Cate Le Bon, will be released on September 29 on dBpm Records.

“It’s this feeling of being in it and out of it at the same time,” said frontman Jeff Tweedy of the new album.

He added of the new single, which you can listen to below: “I guess I was trying to write from the point of view of someone struggling to make an argument for themself in the face of overwhelming evidence that they deserve to be locked out of someone’s heart. Self-inflicted wounds still hurt and in my experience they’re almost impossible to fully recover from.”

‘Cousin’ marks the first time Wilco have handed the reins over to a producer outside their immediate circle of collaborators since 2007’s ‘Sky Blue Sky’.

“The amazing thing about Wilco is they can be anything,” Le Bon added. “They’re so mercurial, and there’s this thread of authenticity that flows through everything they do, whatever the genre, whatever the feel of the record. There aren’t many bands who are able to, this deep into a successful career, successfully change things up.”

The album features 10 tracks which you can view below:

‘Infinite’
‘Ten Dead’
‘Levee’
‘Evicted’
‘Sunlight Ends’
‘A Bowl And A Pudding’
‘Cousin’
‘Pittsburgh’
‘Solider Child’
‘Meant To Be’

The band are also heading out on a European, UK and Ireland, Mexico US tour later this year with dates kicking off at the O2 Kentish Town Forum on August 30.
