Tweedy, composed of Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy and his 18-year-old son Spencer on drums, are set to release their debut album, Sukierae, on September 23 via dBpm Records (pushed back from original September 16 date). In anticipation, the album is now streaming in full over at NPR.
For those unfamiliar with Tweedy's son Spencer, he has been playing with Chicago band The Blisters and played drums on Mavis Staples' last album, One True Vine. Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig of Lucius and Scott McCaughy (R.E.M., The Minus 5, The Baseball Project) contributed to Sukierae.
"When I set out to make this record, I imagined it being a solo thing, but not in the sense of one guy strumming an acoustic guitar and singing," Jeff said in a statement. "Solo to me meant that I would do everything - write the songs, play all the instruments, and sing. But Spencer's been with me from the very beginning demo sessions, playing drums and helping the songs take shape. In that sense, the record is kind of like a solo album performed by a duo."
