Jeff Tweedy announces triple album Twilight Override

Jeff Tweedy has announced Twilight Override, a triple album set for release on September 26 via dBpm Records.

Best known as the frontman of Wilco, the folk-rock singer-songwriter has released four songs from the new project: 'One Tiny Flower', 'Out in the Dark', 'Stray Cats in Spain' and 'Enough.'

In support of the album, the Illinois native will embark on a full-band North American and European tour kicking off this October, with stops in Spain, France, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, and the UK.

Arriving five years after his pandemic-era solo record Love Is the King, Twilight Override is described in a press statement as “an intentional, sprawling three-disc album, a testament to creativity in the face of overwhelming darkness.”

The album was recorded and produced by Tweedy at The Loft, his Chicago studio, with engineering and mixing by longtime collaborator Tom Schick.

Featured musicians include a close circle of Chicago-based friends and family: James Elkington, Sima Cunningham, Macie Stewart, Liam Kazar, and Tweedy’s sons Spencer and Sammy.

Speaking on the project, Tweedy shared:

“Twilight sure is a pretty word, though. And the world is full of happy people in former empires, so maybe that’s not the only source of this dissonance. Whatever it is out there (or in there) squeezing this ennui into my day, it’s fucking overwhelming. It’s difficult to ignore.

Twilight Override is my effort to overwhelm it right back.
Here are the songs and sounds and voices and guitars and words that are an effort to let go of some of the heaviness and up the wattage on my own light - my effort to engulf this encroaching nighttime (nightmare) of the soul.”

Twilight Override is out September 26. In the meantime, you can check out the lead singles below.
