Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Beneath the great story of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, there are all the tropes and symbols and coincidences of a little mythology; but under that is a fantastic rock record.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot signalled Tweedy's own psychic dissonance with songs as starkly lovely as Jesus Etc. or as melodically robust as War On War dissolving into static noise that blooms and fizzes - like film burn on the big screen.

While their songs still maintain the loose intimacy that was apparent on their debut A.M., the music has matured to reveal a complexity that is rare in pop music, yet showcased perfectly on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.
