Wilco LP8 to be released in 2011, will include massive tour

Wilco kind of spilled the beans when they announced the creation of their own record label. I mean, we didn’t know specifically when the band would release their follow-up to 2009’s Wilco (The Album), but we figured it was imminent, as it is pointless to have a label without an album.

Well, thanks to the mighty Facebook, Wilco left the following message, discovered by TwentyFourBit:



That the album will be out this year is good news for the optimistic Wilco faithful. Among the tour dates will be some shows with Smith Westerns, Sasquatch, and, apparently, many more. Here are the current dates below and more news on “the other LP8” as it develops.
