Album Descriptions: Solystalgia - Solystalgia (2026)

AW: When Wilco and I started working together again (we had previously made music together for nearly 10 years before a 5-year hiatus), we originally had a vision of making something more raw, crusty - a real name ‘em and shame ‘em kind of hyper political project - bordering on thrash-punk. But what we found is over the course of our songcrafting - Wilco’s riffs got slower, and I, as it turns out, got sadder! Having just lost my mother and simultaneously witnessing war crimes callously carried out and posted on Twitter feeds was taking its toll on my mind. 

Slowly, the music started to reflect that dichotomy that was tearing my sleep cycle apart. Before I could blink, we had recruited Paul to do vocals, and we had an album.
