Wilco Makes Progress in Studio

Wilco, whose tedious studio ventures are documented in the film I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, has been busy crafting its next batch of production perfections. The band just wrapped up a three-week recording session in Chicago and, if all goes as slated, the still-unnamed new album should be released in Spring 2007.

With about a dozen tracks laid down so far, and another session planned for November, Wilco will fill out the rest of its 2006 calendar with a short tour of college towns, mostly throughout the Midwest and Southeast. The music DVD Sunken Treasure: Jeff Tweedy Live in the Pacific Northwest will be released on the band’s home label, Nonesuch Records, Oct. 24. Go to WilcoWorld.net to see the trailer.

Wilco has also released its first in a series of Wilco podcasts, featuring Glenn Kotche, also at WilcoWorld.net.
