As any informed Wilco fan knows, main axeman, Nels Cline, does a lot more than play guitar with the Chicago powerhouse. Among his many other side projects, including a recent venture with artist Norton Wisdom, he also leads the avant-garde outfit known as the Nels Cline Singers.
We’ve heard rumors of a new album from the trio for a while, and all speculation can now cease, as we’ve got the official word that Cryptogramophone will unleash Initiate on April 13.
The double-disc offering documents a three-day recording session at Berkeley’s Fantasy Studios, as well as a live concert at San Francisco’s Cafe du Nord, where Nels and Co. were joined onstage by members of Deerhoof. The album is available for pre-order right now.
