Background

The upcoming album Still is produced by Wilco's Jeff Tweedy and recorded at Wilco's The Loft Studio in Chicago.[1] Thompson approached Tweedy as he wished to shake up his approach to making records, stating that "Jeff is musically very sympathetic. Although some of his contributions are probably rather subtle to the listener’s ear, they were really interesting and his suggestions were always very pertinent.”[2][3] Wilco stated that "Richard's been one of my favorite guitar players for a very long time...he's also one of my favorite songwriters and favorite singers".[4][5]

The album will be released digitally, on CD, deluxe CD (including the Variations EP) and vinyl.[2]
