Jeff Tweedy Releases Ambitious Triple Album 'Twilight Override'

Jeff Tweedy, the frontman of Wilco, has released a sprawling triple album titled Twilight Override, which has drawn comparisons to Bob Dylan's 1970 album Self Portrait due to its mix of strange, beautiful originals and a sense of indulgence. The album, containing 30 tracks over three discs, is divided into sections representing the past, present, and future, featuring contributions from Tweedy's sons. Critics note that while the album may feel overwhelming at first, it reveals itself as a warm, generous work that ranks among Tweedy's best recent output. Tweedy discussed the album and its themes on the WBEZ radio show Say More, where he also addressed current issues like federal immigration enforcement in Chicago. Additionally, Tweedy has launched a podcast called Known Associates, where he explores music and culture with guests such as Craig Finn from the Hold Steady. Meanwhile, Tweedy the Clown, unrelated to Jeff Tweedy, is featured in a family-friendly show at Underbelly Boulevard, highlighting the diversity of entertainment offerings this season.
