Wilco to leave record label
Wilco guitarist Nels Cline revealed that the band didn’t renew their contract with NYC-based Nonesuch Records in a recent interview with Expressnightout.
Jeff was basically not wanting to be on a record label for a while — he didn’t renew his contract with Nonesuch — so we’re striking out on our own, our own label. There might be a 7-inch or something, a little souvenir when we do this Mass MoCA [Solid Sound Festival in North Adams, Ma.] I’m not sure, really.
Cline also said to expect a lengthy process for the next Wilco album. Watch below as he struggles through a bit of sound trouble during the performance of “Walken” at the band’s 2008 show at Cain’s Ballroom.

Yeah, all indications are that Wilco are all pretty happy with what they’re doing right now–being a top-notch live band with hi-fi, well-recorded material.
They’re getting pretty old though, especially Nels. We’ll see how they handle the next few years considering how far they’ve traveled touring for the last few years.
What’s surprising to me is that Nels still considers himself part of the band. I honestly thought he would be a short-timer in Wilco, but it looks like it’s a good fit for him. The current lineup is stellar.
