Jeff Tweedy is set to release a triple album called Twilight Override on September 26 through dBpm. The album consists of 30 songs, including four new releases: "Enough," "One Tiny Flower," "Out in the Dark," and "Stray Cats in Spain." Tweedy will tour North America in October and later perform in Europe in February. He recorded the album at his Chicago studio with contributions from various artists and his sons. Tweedy reflects on creativity's role in combating despair and acknowledges the overwhelming sense of decline in society.
"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."
"Sort 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."
