New Tunes From Wilco’s Forthcoming Album

The Whole Love is slated for a September 27 release date

The June and July months have been kind to Wilco fans. The band has announced a US tour (with Nick Lowe, no less!), put on the Solid Sound Festival, released a new single, and gave details about a brand new album to be released this fall. With a new album, obviously, comes a great many new sets of tunes; songs to the un-hip person. While videos of some of these new songs from Wilco performed at the Solid Sound Fest had surfaced on the ‘net, many have them have since been taken down on copyright grounds (C’mon, WMG, I thought we were cool). Here are the few that are still available to listen:

Wilco – I Might

Wilco – I Love My Label

Jeff Tweedy – Open Mind (Early version of song to be on The Whole Love)

Until more tunes are released, here’s a track-list for the band’s latest, The Whole Love, for all of us to drool over:

1 Art of Almost
2 I Might
3 Sunloathe
4 Dawned on Me
5 Black Moon
6 Born Alone
7 Open Mind
8 Capitol City
9 Standing O
10 Rising Red Lung
11 Whole Love
12 One Sunday Morning (Song for Jane Smiley’s Boyfriend)
