Hot Sun Cool Shroud (Vinyl LP)

These half dozen songs may have been culled from Wilco's recent Cousin album, and the album cover may have technically been designed by a three year-old, but there's nothing here to suggest these were throw-away tunes, and the cover is fabulous! Ripping through slow burners, scorching steamers, and reflective rambles, Hot Sun Cool Shroud is another brilliant Wilco moment. Surprise! - Flying Out

Following Wilco’s acclaimed 2023 album Cousin, Wilco revisited unfinished material from these sessions to craft ‘Hot Sun Cool Shroud’. Collaborating again with engineering mixer Tom Schick, the band crafted six tracks that expand on the sound of Cousin. According to Jeff Tweedy, they have “a summertime-after-dark kind of feeling. It starts off pretty hot, like heat during the day, has some instrumentals on it that are a little agitated and uncomfortable and ends with a cooling breeze.”
