More Like the Moon EP by Wilco
More Like the Moon EP is an EP by Wilco, released in 2002. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 13 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Handshake Drugs”, on 13 lists with a best position of #12.
More Like the Moon EP, also known as Bridge or the Australian EP, began life as a bonus disc tucked into the Australian edition of Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and the band later offered it through their website to anyone who had bought that album. Jeff Tweedy produced, with the lineup of the day: Tweedy, bassist John Stirratt, drummer Glenn Kotche, Leroy Bach on guitar and keyboards and Mikael Jorgensen on keys.
It plays like a peek into the workshop after the Foxtrot saga, the record Reprise turned down before Nonesuch took it on: a reworked "Kamera", four songs nobody had heard yet, and an early pass at "Handshake Drugs", which the band would pull apart and rebuild for A Ghost Is Born. Loose, woozy and intimate, it's the sound of a band still turning its songs over in its hands.
