A beautiful, comforting yet experimental overcast.

Jeff Tweedy gives us a 30-song, triple record, Twilight Override. You can tell when an artist has music flowing out of them, not knowing what to do with it, creating such a natural sound. Tweedy is one of these people. No one wants to listen to a 30-track record that is rushed and lacks substance; thankfully, this one has both.

The opening track, “One Tiny Flower,” is immediately alluring. Keeping in a soft register, the gracefully building violin, recorded by Macie Stewart, along with Jeff’s son Spencer Tweedy’s drum progression, makes this song anything but simple. The chaotic ending to the first track showcases Tweedy’s playfulness, offering an exciting glimpse into the rest of the triple record.

The basis of music is poetry. Some people forget this. Tweedy exemplifies it throughout the entire album, highlighting “Love Is For Love,” “Betrayed,” “Out in the Dark” and “Wedding Cake.”

With such a wide range of emotions portrayed on this record, songs like “Feel Free” keep a consistent, steady bpm. This allows listeners to ground themselves and take on a complete reset. Another notable soothing track is “Stray Cats in Spain.” Starting with the lyrics “Oh, what a beautiful day,” oh, what a beautiful song this is. Blurring the lines of electric guitar riffs and harmonious synths, this track is a sonic experience that transcends the mind, body and soul.

Going into the final section of this triple album, one can sense a perfect and emotional end, and they are right in their anticipation. Tweedy has a way of performing that makes it feel like he is holding you in a time of sadness. “Too Real” is a perfect kickoff to this feeling of connection.

“The stars started to spin when you looked at me you said ‘we can still be friends close your eyes count to ten this is how it ends.’ / We were never friends.” “This Is How It Ends” is a hard cut out of a relationship, showing doubt turning into acceptance.

If you like to picture music, “Saddest Eyes” allows this with sound coming from all over, moving swiftly around in the mind.

The closing track, “Enough,” is a more uptempo rock song, a full-on jam session to close everything out. With questions that no one wants to answer, the lyrical dissonance is inspiring.

I encourage everyone to take the time to listen to this album from start to finish. Some people choose quality, some choose quantity, but Jeff Tweedy chose both on Twilight Override.
