Overview
- Jeff Tweedy posted a solo, stripped-down cover of Twisted Teens’ “Wild Connection” to his Substack, a post published on September 11 that included a short essay and a link to the recording.
- In the Substack note Tweedy said he avoids imitating singers, explained he tried not to sound like Twisted Teens’ vocalist Caspian, and added that the song made him feel like a younger version of himself.
- Twisted Teens have released two albums in 2026 and announced a third record called The Holy Cross Tigers, a rapid release schedule that has drawn more attention to the band this year.
- Separately, Wilco announced three shows in Marrakech for March next year, which the band says will be its first performances in Africa and underline ongoing activity around Tweedy and his projects.
- Music outlets have amplified Tweedy’s Substack cover, which follows his regular habit of sharing favorite songs and may broaden Twisted Teens’ audience as they prepare the new album.
