Jeff Tweedy of Wilco will release a new solo (ish) album on 15th September through his own dBpm Records called Sukierae (sue-key-ray). Not quite a solo LP It is the debut release by duo,Tweedy, which features 20 new Jeff Tweedy-written songs, performed by Jeff in a musical collaboration with his 18-year-old son and drummer Spencer Tweedy.
“When I set out to make this record, I imagined it being a solo thing, but not in the sense of one guy strumming an acoustic guitar and singing,” Jeff said. “Solo to me meant that I would do everything – write the songs, play all the instruments and sing. But Spencer's been with me from the very beginning demo sessions, playing drums and helping the songs take shape. In that sense, the record is kind of like a solo album performed by a duo.”
With Spencer on drums, Jeff is also joined by Scott McCaughey, Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig of the Brooklyn-band Lucius. Take a list to the first song streamed for the project, ‘I’ll Sing It’ and U.S. Tour details are HERE.
