Self-produced at The Loft in Chicago and engineered by longtime collaborators Tom Schick and Mark Greenberg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArriving five years after 2020’s “surreal and acutely felt” (New York Times) pandemic-era reflection, Love Is The King, Twilight Override is an intentional, sprawling three disc album, a testament to creativity in the face of overwhelming darkness. Recorded and self-produced by Tweedy at his Chicago studio, The Loft, with engineering and mixing from Tom Schick, Twilight Override features Chicago-based friends and family: James Elkington, Sima Cunningham, Macie Stewart, Liam Kazar, and Tweedy’s children Spencer and Sammy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-end=\"445\" data-start=\"178\"\u003eThe three chapters of \u003cem data-end=\"219\" data-start=\"200\"\u003eTwilight Override\u003c\/em\u003e stand alone, but together, they tell a story of the past, present, and future. Each of today’s singles is picked from one of the discs comprising \u003cem data-end=\"385\" data-start=\"366\"\u003eTwilight Override\u003c\/em\u003e, offering a peek at the musical and thematic range to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-end=\"445\" data-start=\"178\"\u003e\"When you choose to do creative things, you align yourself with something that other people call God. And when you align yourself with creation, you inherently take a side against destruction. You’re on the side of creation. And that does a lot to quell the impulse to destroy. Creativity eats darkness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-end=\"445\" data-start=\"178\"\u003eSort of an endless buffet these days—a bottomless basket of rock bottom. Which is, I guess, why I’ve been making so much stuff lately. That sense of decline is hard to ignore, and it must be at least a part of the shroud I’m trying to unwrap. The twilight of an empire seems like a good enough jumping-off point when one is jumping into the abyss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-end=\"445\" data-start=\"178\"\u003e\u003cem data-end=\"1126\" data-start=\"1116\"\u003eTwilight\u003c\/em\u003e sure is a pretty word, though. And the world is full of happy people in former empires, so maybe that’s not the only source of this dissonance. Whatever it is out there (or in there) squeezing this ennui into my day, it’s fucking overwhelming. It’s difficult to ignore. \u003cem data-end=\"1416\" data-start=\"1397\"\u003eTwilight Override\u003c\/em\u003e is my effort to overwhelm it right back. Here are the songs and sounds and voices and guitars and words that are an effort to let go of some of the heaviness and up the wattage on my own light. My effort to engulf this encroaching nighttime (nightmare) of the soul.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote data-end=\"1708\" data-start=\"447\"\u003e\u003cp data-end=\"1708\" data-start=\"1691\"\u003e— \u003cstrong data-end=\"1708\" data-start=\"1693\"\u003eJeff Tweedy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp data-end=\"2177\" data-start=\"1710\"\u003eWhile \u003cstrong data-end=\"1726\" data-start=\"1716\"\u003eTweedy\u003c\/strong\u003e did not intentionally plan out a cohesive narrative for the album, the connections between the songs became apparent after a few listens. “I’m not trying to imply that I had this all mapped out as a story,” he explains. “The way that this ended up falling together and being arranged—it does tell a story that I think I wanted to tell. That’s what a process does for me. This is why it sounded right to me in this order, aside from tempos and music.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-end=\"2555\" data-start=\"2179\"\u003eAlbum opener \u003cem data-end=\"2209\" data-start=\"2192\"\u003eOne Tiny Flower\u003c\/em\u003e is a propulsive and whimsical tale of a man who trips over a flower and dies. The song’s coda hints at the choral group singing present throughout the album.

It’s never gonna be fully okay. You’re never gonna completely fill yourself up with all this stuff you love. You’re endless, you’re deep, you’re insatiable… if you’re doing it right.
