Wilco Showbiz and Celebrity Breaking News

Quarantine does things to people. For most of us, it means sitting around, endlessly scrolling through social media and trying your best to avoid (digital) conversations with people that would rather fight than discuss something.

On the way to 22, Sophie Allison, better known as Soccer Mommy, made a collage of the 1990s and 2000s music she was raised on. Pairing the pure-pop innocence of her vocal delivery with distorted, at times screeching guitars, her new album “Color Theory” finds a writer coming to terms with herself in real-time. Her self-evaluations turned into structured, often jarringly direct choruses that feel as natural as conversation.

Wilco and Sleater-Kinney are going on tour together. The trek, dubbed the “It’s Time” Summer 2020 Tour, takes place across the United States in August. Check out the bands’ tour poster, as well as a teaser video, below. Get tickets here. (Pitchfork earns a commission from purchases made through affiliate links on our site.)

On January 31, dBpm Records will release “Chicago 2017,” an album comprised of songs from Daniel Johnston’s final Chicago performance at The Vic Theatre in October of 2017, as well as a session recorded at Wilco’s Loft studio. For the performances, the late singer was backed by Tweedy (featuring Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy and his son Spencer).

Jeff Tweedy and Wilco have been on an absolute tear lately. After sitting out most of the first half of the 2010s following the lush, lovely The Whole Love in 2011, the back half of this decade have seen them in nearly constant activity: the left-of-center Star Wars in 2015, 2016’s more straightforward (but no less enjoyable) Schmilco, two solo albums from Tweedy, and a much-ballyhooed memoir from the man himself.
