Schmilco by Wilco
Schmilco is an album by Wilco, released in 2016. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 7 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “If I Ever Was a Child”, on 7 lists with a best position of #15.
Schmilco, Wilco's tenth studio album, arrived on dBpm on September 9, 2016, barely more than a year after Star Wars, with Jeff Tweedy producing. The Chicago band announced it that July along with two songs, "Locator" and "If I Ever Was a Child", and the lineup was the same six that had held steady since 2004: Tweedy on vocals and guitar, John Stirratt on bass, Nels Cline on guitar, Pat Sansone and Mikael Jorgensen on keyboards, and Glenn Kotche on drums.
More than two decades on from their alt-country beginnings in the wake of Uncle Tupelo, Wilco had turned into a restless indie rock band happy to wander across genres and eras, and a title that sounds like a shrug suggests they weren't taking any of it too seriously.
