Wilco/Feist collaboration to bear fruit on next album

To make its next album, due out in June, extra-special, Wilco has invited Canadian chanteuse (Canaditeuse? Chantadian?) Feist on board. According to Rolling Stone's Smoking Section blog, Jeff Tweedy and Feist are working on a duet called "You and I."

Other than that, it's hard to tell much more about the forthcoming album, at this point. When Rolling Stone asked Tweedy about the release, he said, "I'm sitting here trying to figure out what the record is about."

While fans wait with baited breath, they can at least be consoled with Wilco's extensive tour listing for this summer, listed below.
