Jeff Tweedy - Twilight Override

 

Jeff Tweedy — Twlight Override

Fifth solo album from the Wilco frontman

Triple LP features 30 songs!

Jeff Tweedy writes a lot of songs. And not just in the sense that he's spent more than 30 years leading his band Wilco through one of the most rewarding and varied catalogs in American music, writes Rolling Stone. 

"I sincerely feel a need to have that in my life," he told the magazine in 2020, the year that he published a great book about this daily practice. "I feel better when I do it, and I try not to miss days. It's like working out or something, almost."

All that songwriting has left Tweedy with enough strong material for a new triple album, Twilight Override, out Sept. 26, 2025 via Wilco's own dBpm Records. You read that right — three discs, 30 songs total. This is his first solo release since 2020's Love Is the King. The new collection showcases his signature blend of wit, insight, and whimsy. Self-produced at The Loft in Chicago and engineered by longtime collaborators Tom Schick and Mark Greenberg, the album includes standout tracks from recent live sets such as "Feel Free," "Enough," and "Lou Reed Was My Babysitter."

Tweedy has released four excellent new songs to help you get a handle on all this music. "One Tiny Flower," the first song on disc one, is a meditative folk song with a nervous energy pushing it forward, says Rolling Stone. "Out in the Dark," from disc two, is an easygoing amble in brighter hues, with some fun burbling studio noises as the song goes on. "Stray Cats in Spain," from disc three, is a plunge into headier waters, with swirling strings and no audible percussion — just beautiful stuff. And "Enough," which is both the final track on the album and its "radio single," is an upbeat, catchy burst of folk-rock sunshine, complete with a sweet electric guitar solo.

Right away, just from these songs, it's clear that Twilight Override is some top-shelf Tweedy, and they make you want to hear more. You can tell that he is on fire right now, creatively speaking.
