The Jayhawks return with "XOXO," a sprawling double album that revisits their early, more eclectic sound, trading in some of the polished Americana for a rawer, more experimental edge. It’s a late-career exploration of their roots, arriving after a period of relative calm.
- The album was released on July 10, 2020, on the SHAM label.
- "XOXO" features a more diverse sonic palette than many of their recent efforts, incorporating elements of psychedelia and power pop.
- Gary Louris and Karen Grotberg remain the core of the band, with contributions from other members reflecting the group's fluid lineup.
The Jayhawks formed in Minneapolis in 1985, blending elements of country, rock, and folk. They became a touchstone of the Americana scene in the 1990s with albums like "Hollywood Town Hall" and "Tomorrow the Green Grass."
