Whole Love Standard Edition
Wilco
For Wilco, The Whole Love represents more than just the eighth studio album from this innovative Chicago rock band. It signifies yet another new chapter in the bands constantly evolving, enduring and storied career. Just as their departure from Warner Bros for the release of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot created a thrilling story, now The Whole Love, on their newly launched dBpm Records, sets one of contemporary music’s most creative and independent-minded bands on a wide open road.Recorded in their northside Chicago loft, the 12 new songs on The Whole Love capture the balance between the bands art sensibilities, their fondness traditional American music and their love of classic guitar-driven pop rock. The Whole Love is a veritable sonic stew, showcasing Wilcos far-reaching musical prowess (multiple guitars, keyboards, synthesizers and percussion plus Mellotron, strings, loops and more) perfectly accompanying Jeff Tweedys provocative and insightful lyrics.

Review
Declan Murphy, Readings St Kilda
The Whole Love is album number eight for Chicago’s Wilco. Having taken a break for the latter half of 2010 from 15 years of incessant touring, the band returned to the studio thoroughly energised and armed with enough songs for two albums. It would seem the break has done them good; the result is 12 stunning songs which cement Jeff Tweedy and co.’s place as the finest working American band today. The record is bookended by two epics. Seven-minute opener ‘Art of Almost’ sets a driving pace, while the closing ‘One Sunday Morning (Song for Jane Smiley’s Boyfriend)’ is 12 minutes of Wilco at their most meditative. In between we are treated to acoustic balladry, rockers and pop, from a band at the peak of their powers. In a word… well, Wilco are the kind of band who can frequently leave a listener speechless and grasping for superlatives.
