Cousin

Wilco

A sharp, avant-pop pivot defined by icy synthesizers and jagged guitars. Wilco trades their warm Americana for a crystalline, anxious, and beautifully strange world.

It's Wilco if they got obsessed with post-punk and synthesizers in a cold Chicago winter.

A sharp, crystalline anxiety that finds beauty in digital friction and emotional distance.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The glitchy, stuttering drum machine and discordant guitar stabs that open Infinite Surprise, signaling a break from their recent Americana warmth.
The way the bassline in the title track Cousin snakes through a thicket of brittle, interlocking guitar lines and dry percussion.
The sudden, lush synth swell that provides a moment of relief during the otherwise tense and skeletal Sunlight Ends.
