August - Album of the Month
BAND – Wilco
Album – Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is the fourth studio album of the Chicago band Wilco, first released on their website on 29 September 2001 after AOL Time Warner had rejected it and Wilco’s singer Jeff Tweedy had bought the rights to the recordings for USD 50’000. The album has since been rated as one of the top five rock albums of the 2000s and one of the top 500 albums in rock history.
With the support of a new producer (Jim O’Rourke) and a new drummer (Glenn Kotche replacing Ken Coomer), singer Jeff Tweedy was able to implement his visions and create this masterpiece of alternative indie. I have been listening to the songs dozens of times over the last 20 years and they haven’t lost any of their bite.
The songs are so strong that they seem to hover over the electronic and percussive background, emerging to constantly create new jazz-like branchings, without ever losing touch with the melodies.
What a great honor it is that my son’s band Wolfer will be playing after my indie heroes Wilco at the Noxe Festival in Vevey this Saturday.
