Wilco has announced the band’s 12th album Cruel Country (originally released May 27th via online streaming)will be widely available in two disc LP and CD formats on January 20th via dBpm, available for pre-order now. The Cruel Country gatefold package – created by Grammy winning designer Lawrence Azerrad – includes band photos and a unique panel of postcards. Red and white color vinyl LPS will be available in a limited indie-store only run of 5,000 units.
In conjunction with the physical release announcement, Wilco present a new video for Cruel Country’s “A Lifetime to Find.” Just in time for Halloween, the “A Lifetime to Find” video features the band – Jeff Tweedy, John Stirratt, Glenn Kotche, Mikael Jorgensen, Pat Sansone and Nels Cline – meeting up with a few paranormal characters at the cozy Elks Lodge in North Adams, the town in Massachusetts where the band’s beloved Solid Sound Festival takes place.
Wilco just returned home after five months touring North America and Europe in support of Cruel Country. To cap off that lengthy run, they performed special surprise pop up shows at Chicago’s legendary Carol’s Pub. The band will be back on tour in spring 2023 including a three night sold out residency in Reykjavik, Iceland.
