I Recommend: The Autumn Defense

New Music this Week!
Someone You Should Know








Meet The AUTUMN DEFENSE - Wilco's John Stirratt and Patrick Sansone have played the world's stages and have shared those sacred spaces with some of the world's best contemporary musicians. A whole generation of of modern contemporary music artists who some of their mystique (if not their sound) to the near self-actualized band lead by Jeff Tweedy. And in recent years it has become clear that Wilco is more than Tweedy and more than the band. It's a widening circle - a community of fans, musicians and artists (clearly witnessed by these eyes at this summer's stellar Solid Sound Music Festival.) So should it surprise anyone that a new music project staring two of Wilco's own should be anything other than great?


RELATIONSHIPS with Your Music - For weeks, The Autumn Defense's perfect, golden pop, solid and connecting lyrics and see-saw harmonies have been celebrated on my daily commute - between bouts of NPR radio and frantic escape maneuvers on Boston roads... Well now you can be a part of the album and be possessed by it as well. Once Around is in stores and available online now. It's a trip well worth taking as the golden embers rising up from the feet of these metaphorical fires can light up the darkest of nights. All that's missing is a glass of red wine and a worthwhile daydream.

TOURING SCHEDULE - As I write this The Autumn Defense (who just toured the EU with Wilco) find themselves heading south out of Canada - headed for Boston. (They played Toronto last night.)
