"Schmilco," Wilco's tenth studio album, is a collection of ten acoustic songs that strips away the band's usual experimental tendencies for a more intimate and understated sound. The album was famously released on vinyl first, with CD and digital versions following a month later.
- The album was recorded at The Loft in Chicago with producer Jeff Tweedy and Tom Schick.
- It was released without prior singles or promotion, with the band only announcing it a few weeks before its release.
- The album's title is a reference to a character from the animated series 'The Tick'.
Wilco is an American alternative rock band, formed in 1994 by members of Uncle Tupelo. They are known for their experimental and genre-bending approach to rock music. Schmilco was released late in their career, following the experimental noise of Star Wars and preceding the more concise Cousin.
