The Whole Love by Wilco
The Whole Love is an album by Wilco, released in 2011. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 30 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “I Might”, on 15 lists with a best position of #8.
The Whole Love, Wilco's eighth album, arrived on September 27, 2011, the first on the band's own dBpm label, and it sounds like a band savoring the freedom. Jeff Tweedy produced, and the Chicago lineup that had held steady since 2004, Tweedy, John Stirratt, Nels Cline, Pat Sansone, Mikael Jorgensen and Glenn Kotche, roams from glitchy art-rock to sunny pop and back without breaking a sweat.
"Art of Almost" builds from a skittering, static-laced crawl into a full Nels Cline guitar freakout, "I Might" bounces with garage-pop cheek, "Dawned on Me" and "Standing O" are pure pop sugar, and "One Sunday Morning" stretches out into a long, gentle meditation. Fans at the band's Solid Sound Festival got to buy "I Might" first, the whole record streamed on Wilco's website for 24 hours ahead of release, and it earned a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album.
