Be Among the First to Hear Wilco’s ‘Schmilco’, Attend a Listening Party, Pre-Order the Album Now


Today is a very special day in Wilco world. It’s the birthday of the band’s Grand Poobah, Jeff Tweedy. He turns 49. For fans out there wondering what to get him, that’s a no brainer, just pre-order Wilco’s new album, Schmilco, due out September 9. Jeff and gang are so eager for you to check it out, they are partnering with record stores across the country to throw I Heard Schmilco listening parties three days prior to the album’s official release. At these shindigs, fans will also be able to pick up vinyl versions of the album.

Schmilco is Wilco’s tenth studio album and it features 12 new songs by the band. It was recorded at The Loft in Chicago and produced by Jeff with Tom Schick. You can get a gander at the tracklist below. It includes previously leaked tracks, “Locator” and “If I Ever Was a Child”, which you’ll also find below.

Wilco Schmilco Listening PartiesIn Wilcoworld, there are benefits to planning ahead in. Those that pre-order the album now will get instant downloads of “Locator” and “If I Ever Was a Child”, as well as be entered into drawings where they could walk off with a special signed Defil Melodia 2 guitar from the Loft, a 22″ custom Schmilco wall clock (aka Wilclock) , or a mystery prize. There are also other nifty Schmilco-themed items available for purchase on the site including a sweet limited edition Wilco turntable. But act quickly if you want in on the player, as they are only accepting orders on that item until Friday, Aug. 26 at 10am CT/4pm GMT. Visit the Wilco store for details.

How about those listening parties on Tuesday, September 6? Not only will attendees be the first to hear the album, but they can also pick up Schmilco vinyl on the same day, and win prizes like slipmats featuring artwork by album cover artist Joan Cornellà, a white label Schmilco vinyl, and more. If you’re in New York, a party goes down at Rough Trade in Brooklyn. So far, that’s the only store within the city limits planning to take part. If you’re elsewhere, check the Wilco’s website for a location near you.
