Yesterday, Wilco announced they’ll be adding a North American tour to their list of appearances already scheduled for 2022. In celebration of the new North American tour dates the rockers shared a new single “Tired Of Taking It Out On You” off their upcoming album, Cruel Country, out May 27th via dBpm Records.

The added North American tour dates will take place after Wilco’s Solid Sound Festival and their performances set for Europe and the U.K. which conclude on July 1. Starting on Aug. 12, Wilco will traverse North America making solo performances and festival stops through Oct. 7 where they’ll conclude their tour with a performance Roots N Blues Festival in Columbia, Mo.

“Tired Of Taking It Out On You” marks the second single off Wilco’s upcoming album, following “Falling Apart (Right Now),” and carries deep self-introspective lyrics: “I’m tired of taking it out on you / Tired of needing to / Freeze my warmth away / Tear the tears out of your quiet face.” Along with the release of the song a video that was filmed at the Loft, where Cruel Country was made was also shared.

“I’ve realized over the years that a lot of the songs I’ve written have worked as reminders to myself to pay attention to various things,” said Tweedy of the song. “Sometimes I think I’ve figured out how the world works in some small way, and I worry I’ll forget it if I don’t sing it back to myself occasionally. This song, I believe, is going to come in handy for just that purpose. I’m a person who needs to stay alert to how I’m treating others when I’m not feeling my best. And now that I mention it, when I look around, it seems like a lot of us have been taking things out on each other when we would be better served striving for understanding and empathy. I’m just trying to be honest with myself, and I guess I’m hoping if this song can help me focus on that, maybe someone else could find it useful in the same way.”
