"Tweedy has always been prolific, from early double album Being There (1996) to the 21-track Cruel Country (2022). A restless spirit is inherent in his body of work, which has been consistent, even if not reaching the same twitchy crescendos of genius that inform the early Wilco records. However, Twilight Override, Tweedy's latest LP, sets a new record for the musician in length: 30 tracks, spread over three discs."
"The album takes time to reveal its gifts. Following a listening session of the Clash's triple-LP Sandinista! with sons Spencer and Sammy, Tweedy felt inspired to create his own triple record. At first, 30 tracks may feel overwhelming, an onslaught of mid-tempo jewels. But if you give Twilight Override the proper attention, it ranks with the best of Tweedy's post- A Ghost Is Born output."
Jeff Tweedy began releasing music in the early 1990s and has been a steady, calming presence for aging indie fans for two decades. He overcame a painkiller addiction and moved beyond the anxiety behind early Wilco classics such as Summerteeth and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. His later work favors warm, genial sounds across Wilco releases and solo records. Twilight Override spans 30 tracks over three discs, inspired by a family listening session to the Clash's Sandinista!, and is divided into past, present, and future sections. The record rewards patience and ranks among his strongest post-A Ghost Is Born output, featuring varied moods and spoken-word passages.
