Wilco's 'Art Of Almost' Off 'The Whole Love' (VIDEO)

We've had great expectations for Wilco's The Whole Love, out today (!), ever since Jeff Tweedy revealed that his writing process for "Born Alone" involved random stabs at Emily Dickinson. This was clearly an experiment for the oft-pigeonholed dadrockers, and Wilco guaranteed it as such by shunning the big studios in favor of their indie label dBpm records. Enter the track "Art Of Almost" off Whole Love, a rangy, ferocious piece of guitar and electronica that's only distantly related to Yankee Foxtrot Hotel's end riffs, like a cow to a whale. It's an open-hearted, edgy departure for an established band, and we're digging it.

It sounds like John Lennon fronting King Crimson.

Ah! I almost forgot that I have to run to the record store today and pick up this LP. For the kids who don't know what some of those terms mean, I weep for you.

Best album of 2011 so far. Truly majestical.
