Good news if you're a Wilco fan, which you should be.
Wilco is streaming its entire new album, brilliantly titled
Wilco (The Album), now on the band's Web site.
Listen to it
here. (Update: Wilco has temporarily stopped the streaming, but they promise it will return).
The LP doesn't debut until June 30 on Nonesuch Records, but Rolling Stone is reporting the band is responding to its leak on the Internet.
This is nothing new for the band. They've streamed each of their last three albums free on the net.
First impressions? The Chicago band is retreating from the country-rock of 2007's
Sky Blue Sky and embracing more of the spacey guitar heroics that made 2004's
A Ghost Is Born so memorable.
The early highlight is "Bull Black Nova," an extended cut with haunting, staccato keys and chiming guitar rawk. This sounds like the first time fans will get to hear Wilco guitar superhero Nels Cline cut loose in the studio.
Listen and enjoy. Then buy in June.
