Wilco’s New Album

So have you been listening to Wilco’s new album, Sky Blue Sky? Well, why not? Get on it.

I think it’s a remarkably coherent — if staid — effort. Just like everything the band produces, the album grows on you. Slowly.

I agree with Rob Sheffield, who says this in his Rolling Stone review:

Sky Blue Sky (great title — Allman Brothers via Laurie Anderson) is understated, erratic, often beautiful, disarmingly simple music; it really sounds like six guys playing in a room, and no doubt that’s how they wanted it.

My favorite track so far is “Hate it Here” (number eight).
