Wilco announce new album, share "Love Is Everywhere (Beware)"

Wilco recently announced a fall tour, and now they revealed that they’ll have a new album out this fall too. It’s called Ode to Joy, and it drops October 4 via the band’s own dBpm Records (pre-order). The first single is called “Love Is Everywhere (Beware),” and here’s what Jeff Tweedy says about it:

There MUST be more love than hate. Right?! I’m not always positive we can be so sure. In any case, I’m starting to feel like being confident in that equation isn’t always the best motivation for me to be my best self – it can kind of let me off the hook a little bit when I think I should be striving to contribute more love outside of my comfortable sphere of family and friends.

So. . . I guess the song is sort of a warning to myself that YES, Love IS EVERYWHERE, but also BEWARE! I can’t let that feeling absolve me of my duty to create more.

Sonically, it’s a calming dose of folky indie rock, embellished by some jammy lead guitar. Listen and check out the artwork and tracklist below.

As mentioned, Wilco’s tour hits NYC on October 12 at Radio City and October 13 at Brooklyn Steel. All dates are listed below.
