Wilco has a new album, “Ode to Joy,” set for release early next month, and the band released a new video for a not-quite-new song to promote it. Band leader Jeff Tweedy pointed out that it’s “the first promotional video to feature Wilco as a living breathing band of humans in close to 20 years.” Even more remarkable, it’s been that long since Tweedy kicked anyone out of the band. The video takes the song title literally, as band members playing hide and seek visit a lot of landmarks familiar to Chicago residents and/or Wilco fans.
It’s not actually a new song. Tweedy recorded it with his family band for the 2014 film “St. Vincent.”
