Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy has announced a new solo album titled WARM. Due out Nov. 30 via dBpm, the album follows last year’s Together at Last, a solo record that saw him re-record songs from Wilco and his other projects as acoustic tracks. Today he's shared the lead single, “Some Birds." Tweedy describes it as, “like a lot of songs on WARM, being a confrontation between self and shadow self simultaneously feeling I’m to blame and not to blame, present and gone, and utterly confused, but determined to hold someone accountable.”
The song comes with a video, directed by Sam Henrikson, which features Tweedy watching himself get a haircut. “When I got the call to collaborate with Jeff on the video for ‘Some Birds’ it was a thrill and an honor,” says Henrikson. “The concept for the video naturally highlights Jeff’s amazing song writing and lyrical genius. However, it also exploits another of Jeff’s gifts — his uncanny sense of men’s fashion and hairstyles. I’m excited to share it with Tweedy fans!”
Tweedy will play the Moore Theatre on Sunday, Sept. 30. Watch the video for “Some Birds” as well as Tweedy’s KEXP in-studio performance from 2015 below.
