Call for Papers: PopMatters Celebrates The Jam in Massive Special Section

Wilco Working on New Album for 2011 Release

Wednesday, Feb 9, 2011

On Monday, Wilco reminded us via their official Facebook page that they’re hard at work on the follow-up to 2009’s Wilco (The Album). The Chicago-based band confirmed that their eighth LP will be out in 2011 and that a massive tour will subsequently ensue.
