Wilco's 'Cousin': A Weird and Beautiful Rebirth
Wilco's 13th album, "Infinite Surprise," produced by Cate Le Bon, showcases the band's arty and experimental side. The album features bursts of static, distorted guitars, eerie strings, and a wash of weirdness that adds a subtly appealing touch to the more straightforward tracks. With its blurs and hesitancies, "Cousin" feels simultaneously familiar and different, satisfying and disquieting, demonstrating Wilco's ability to move forward in their own peculiar way 30 years into their career.
