WARM

Description

Certain lyrical flowers sprout up with regularity across the ten song-yards that are this record. A son who has lost a father sings to his wife, his sons, that father. There are apologies, and mirror-twins; threats to enemies (Id love to take you down / and leave you there) and entreaties (Lets go rain again!) and dreamy challenges (I wonder how much freedom we can dream) and ornery morphings of language that serve a simple function: they make the listener love language again. George Saunders, Liner Notes for Jeff Tweedys WARM

Jeff Tweedy will release, WARM, a solo album of all new material on November 30th via dBpm Records. WARM was produced and recorded entirely by Jeff at Chicagos now legendary studio, The Loft (with help from some of his usual collaborators Spencer Tweedy, Glenn Kotche and Tom Schick). WARM follows the acoustic retrospective release, Together at Last (2017), and Wilcos 2016 album, Schmilco.

The incredible liner notes for WARM were written by George Saunders and are available to read in full at The New Yorker.

In conjunction with album announcement, dBpm presents lead single, Some Birds, and its accompanying video directed by Seth Henrikson. When I got the call to collaborate with Jeff on the video for Some Birds it was a thrill and an honor, comments Henrikson. The concept for the video naturally highlights Jeffs amazing song writing and lyrical genius. However, it also exploits another of Jeffs gifts his uncanny sense of mens fashion and hairstyles. Im excited to share it with Tweedy fans!

Jeff describes the song as like a lot of songs on WARM, being a confrontation between self and shadow self simultaneously feeling Im to blame and not to blame, present and gone, and utterly confused, but determined to hold someone accountable.
