Self-inflicted wounds still hurt and in my experience they’re almost impossible to fully recover from.”‘Cousin’ marks the first time Wilco have handed the reins over to a producer outside their immediate circle of collaborators since 2007’s ‘Sky Blue Sky’.“The amazing thing about Wilco is they can be anything,” Le Bon added. “They’re so mercurial, and there’s this thread of authenticity that flows through everything they do, whatever the genre, whatever the feel of the record.

There aren’t many bands who are able to, this deep into a successful career, successfully change things up.”The album features 10 tracks which you can view below:‘Infinite’‘Ten Dead’‘Levee’‘Evicted’‘Sunlight Ends’‘A Bowl And A Pudding’‘Cousin’‘Pittsburgh’‘Solider Child’‘Meant To Be’The band are also heading out on a European, UK and Ireland, Mexico and US tour later this year with dates kicking off in the UK at the O2 Kentish Town Forum on August 30.Further dates include shows in Edinburgh, Birminham, Manchester, Belfast and Dublin.
