Produced by the band, and mixed by Jim O'Rourke (Sonic Youth, Gastr del Sol), YANKEE HOTEL FOXTROT sees the Chicago-based band stretching their creative borders once again, imbuing their trademark sound with inventive "found" textures on their debut for the Nonesuch label. Singer/guitarist Jeff Tweedy's stirring songwriting melds with the band's unique and eclectic sonic approach on tracks like the poignant opener "I'm Just Trying To Break Your Heart." Highly personal lyrics meet stark and powerful musical backdrops on songs like "Ashes of American Flags," while other cuts - such as the delightfully wry "Heavy Metal Drummer" and "Kamera" - show off Wilco's more playful pop side.
