Guitarist Nels Cline and multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone joined the band after the completion of A ghost is born.
The new album was recorded at The Loft, the band’s Chicago studio. While the final album selections are not yet confirmed, some of the 18-plus tracks being considered for inclusion are “Shake It Off,” “Side with the Seeds,” “Glad It’s Over,” “Either Way” and “Walken.” Many of the new songs have been performed in recent Wilco concerts and by Jeff Tweedy on his current solo tour. Sky Blue Sky is produced by Wilco.
