July 16, 2019

Chicago alt-country heroes Wilco have announced details of their 11th studio album, Ode to Joy. The record is out on October 4 via dBpm Records, and its lead single, “Love Is Everywhere (Beware),” is streaming below. In a press release about the single, lead singer Jeff Tweedy made liberal use of capital letters:

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.

Ode to Joy will be Wilco's first album since 2016's Schmilco. Listen to “Love Is Everywhere (Beware)" below and find Wilco's extensive tour dates at the foot of the page.
