Details: Amazon.caNamed in honour of the three-word codes used by short-wave radio operators, Wilco’s fourth album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot sounds like a late-night broadcast of some weirdly wonderful pop station punctuated by static and the sonic bleed of competing signals. Songs that begin with simple, elegiac grace–« Ashes of American Flags » and « Poor Places »–end in a cathartic squall of distortion. The results can be initially jarring, but it’s these tracks more than the sturdy jangle pop of « Kamera » or « Heavy Metal Drummer » that demand, and reward, repeated listens.Mixed by studio experimentalist Jim O’Rourke and produced by the band, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot harkens back to a time when the words « pop » and « sonic adventurism » weren’t mutually exclusive. The Beatles and Kurt Cobain knew this, and clearly so do Jeff Tweedy and company. –Keith MoererProduct DescriptionWilco
