( Rolling Stone ) -- `` The working title , as of right now , is 'Get Well Soon Everybody , ' `` Jeff Tweedy , the singer-songwriter-leader of Wilco , says of his band 's eighth studio album , now in the mixing stage at the group 's Chicago studio , the Loft , and due for release in September . `` If I could say anything to the world at large , that would be it . '' The record will be Wilco 's first on their own label , dBpm -- shorthand for decibels per minute -- and Tweedy 's third set of new songs with his longest-running lineup : bassist John Stirratt , guitarist Nels Cline , drummer Glenn Kotche , keyboard player Mikael Jorgenson and multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansome . The group has recorded more than 20 songs , Tweedy says , `` out of the things I had coming in , which was somewhere in the fifties and sixties . It 's a pretty great time for me writing-wise . '' After Wilco finished touring last year , `` we took a little more time off the road than we normally do , '' says Tweedy . `` Certainly , it 's been the longest break I 've had since my twenties , and that 's been a big help , wading out that far from the comfort of the old songs . You have to keep your mind sharp to play your old songs . It 's hard to allow yourself to freely think about what you want to do next , when you 're that close to doing another show . '' The album includes a seven-minute track , `` Art of Almost , '' which starts with shadowy electronics , gently turns into a haunted vocal section , then sprints into a Krautrock-style blowout . There are also two country-flavored songs , the spectral ballad `` Black Moon '' and the jauntier `` Whole Love . '' `` There are two strong threads of material , '' Tweedy says , `` one being a little weirder -- snot-nosed obnoxious pop songs -- and the other more languid , atmospheric-country music . '' `` Whole Love '' grew out of `` a chord progression I found interesting , '' he notes . But the arrangements are the product `` of six guys being pretty remarkable at communicating without talking and having a lot of trust in each other . '' Tweedy points out that the name of Wilco 's label -- to be distributed by ANTI -- was originally a working title for the 2004 album , `` A Ghost Is Born . '' `` It does n't make any sense , '' he admits . `` But as a graphic , it looks cool . Copyright © 2011 Rolling Stone .
