De Amerikaanse band Wilco zal later deze maand de studio induiken om te werken aan de opvolger van 'Wilco (The Album)' (2009). Dat maakte frontman Jeff Tweedy onlangs bekend.

"We're getting into the studio later this month to start recording the next Wilco record. The way we've been touring the past year, there's been a dividing line between one record and the next as there ever had been because we've been touring so intensively and we haven't been able to do any recording on the side", aldus Tweedy.

Het zal ook het eerste album worden sinds hun breuk met platenlabel Nonesuch. Tweedy vertelde dat de band nog niet weet hoe ze het album gaan uitbrengen, maar ze zien wel wat in het pay-what-you-want idee van Radioheads 'In Rainbows'.

"I know some of the guys in Radiohead and talk to them, but our manager pays more attention to the(ir) business models than I do. When Radiohead streamed their album and let people pay what they wanted, I thought that was similar to what we had been doing for years, but we didn't take the money because we were on a major at the time; we ended up giving the money to charity", besluit Tweedy.

Wilco speelt dit jaar op de laaste dag van Leffingeleuren.
