Feist will join Wilco on their new album to be released in June.
Wilco confirmed rumors that Feist will appear on its next album, a
still untitled set due for a late June release on Nonesuch, in a
posting today (March 27) on the band's website.
Feist lends vocals to the track "You and I."
Wilco have spent the last several weeks mixing the album in
producer/engineer Jim Scott's Valencia, California studio.
According to the band's web posting, ten songs have been finished,
though the album's final sequence is not yet set and may not be
complete.
As previously reported, Wilco's live DVD, "Ashes of American
Flags," will be released on Record Store Day (April 18) exclusively
to indie retail outlets. The Nonesuch release will go on sale
to all retailers two weeks later. The film was recorded in Tulsa,
Okla.; New Orleans; Mobile, Ala.; Nashville; and Washington, D.C.,
during the band's 2008 tour.
Wilco's summer tour itinerary includes a handful of European dates
and appearances at the New Orleans Jazz Fest, Bonnaroo, and the
10,000 Lakes Festival in Minnesota.
Jeff Tweedy is set to perform a rare solo acoustic set this weekend
in Beacon, New York at a benefit for Pete Seeger's Clearwater
organization. Tweedy and Seeger will each play solo as well
as perform a set of duets together.
The tentative track listing for the new Wilco album
is:
"Deeper Down"
"Conscript" (aka "I'll Fight")
"One Wing"
"Solitaire"
"Wilco" (the song)
â¨"Country Disappeared"
â¨"Everlasting"
