Schmilco

• Track Listing

Disarmingly loose, mostly acoustic, occasionally chaotic and pleasingly spacious, the new recording by Wilco—made in their Chicago loft—is a far cry from some of their more baroque, densely arranged albums. It’s certainly very different from the fuzzed-out glam of "Star Wars," and that should please fans, who’ve become accustomed to expect the unexpected from this endlessly adventurous band. Check this out, on CD or vinyl (with download card): "Normal American Kids," "If I Ever Was a Child," "Cry All Day," "Common Sense," "Quarters," "Locator" and more! Anti-.
