“America’s foremost rock impressionists.” – Rolling Stone
Wilco released their latest album, Ode to Joy, on October 4, 2019. It was met with positive reviews from critics with Paste calling the release, “larger-than-life soft rock full of both grand ideas about the state of our world and small musings about matters of the heart”. Uncut said “It’s a protest record only this sextet could make, one that rings loudest in its simplicity. It favours subtle textures and hushed vocals, and further reveals its wisdom with each listen.”
