Cate Le Bon helps one of America’s most beloved bands embrace abstraction more comfortably than ever
But part of Wilco’s magic is its mutability , and how artfully it always cleaves to Tweedy’s narrative voice, one of the most companionable in modern song, even when he’s channeling flawed characters, which he frequently is. “I love to take my meds/ Like my doctor said,” he sings on “Levee,” a sorta-kinda love song about a relationship that might or might not represent salvation.
“Evicted” is an unusually celebratory song about owning your fuck-ups and their consequences. “10 Dead” joins the sorry jukebox of mass-shooting meditations. And “Meant To Be,” the set-closer, is a feint that suggests a triumphal love song until you sense the singer’s earnestness might be one-sided. When he sings the word “I still believe you’re the only one” near the end, the key word hangs like the “BELIEVE” sign above’s locker room doorway.
