M Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 >> From RollingStone.com NEW WILCO RELEASE DUE As they gear up for tours of Australia and Japan, WILCO are readying an EP for release early next year. In addition to three outtakes from "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot," the set features three new tracks ("Handshake Drugs," "Woodgrain" and "More Like the Moon"). "We've got a few hours of stuff recorded," drummer GLENN KOTCHE told Rolling Stone about the band's next full-length. "Some are regular songs. Some are complete improvs. We're going back in March for a few weeks, and it'll be time to buckle down." WILCO, SONIC YOUTH MEMBERS GET LOOSE WILCO members JEFF TWEEDY and GLENN KOTCHE, and SONIC YOUTH's JIM O'ROURKE will release their self-titled debut as LOOSE FUR on January 28th. The experimental album was recorded after the trio performed at the 2000 Noise Pop festival in Chicago. "Jeff was able to express something that at that point in WILCO he wasn't able to," O'Rourke told Rolling Stone. "He has a past in that music and from our first meeting I realized he knew more about this stuff than I thought." The group plans to record again next year between O'Rourke's duty with SONIC YOUTH and the next Wilco album.
