Star Wars

Short, fuzzy, and surprisingly loose. A collection of jagged guitar rock and abstract pop that trades Wilco's usual polish for basement-show grit.

It’s the one where Wilco stops being polite and just lets the guitars rip for 34 minutes.

A restless, fuzzy, and playful collection of art-rock that feels like a band rediscovering the joy of loud guitars.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The dissonant guitar squall of EKG that resets the listener's expectations immediately.

The hypnotic, motorik-lite groove of You Satellite that builds into a dense wall of feedback.

The glam-rock stomp and infectious guitar hook of Random Name Generator.
