Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy joins Kyle Meredith to dive into his ambitious new triple solo album, Twilight Override. Clocking in at 30 songs across three discs, the project explores the past, present, and future—not as a rigid concept record, but as a flowing arc of memory, meaning, and hope.

First, Soft Cell’s Marc Almond talks with Kyle Meredith about shaping his 2017 solo album, Shadows and Reflections, as a '60s-steeped, orchestral “torch and baroque” set—curating lesser-known gems, keeping the original arrangements’ DNA, and slipping in two new cuts (including the filmic “No One to Say Goodnight To” and t...

Lzzy Hale of Halestorm spoke with Kyle Meredith about Everest, the band’s roaring new record born from a “desert island” headspace in Savannah with Dave Cobb. Nearly three decades into their run, Hale framed the album as a live-wire snapshot instead of a genre exercise: big melodies, bigger punches, and zero interest in coloring inside the lines. It’s the sound of a band refusing to calcify. Listen now.

“We were writing and recordin...

Listen to the conversation now.

For Rysdahl, working again with cr...
