Wilco – “Someone to Lose” (Video)

Last month, Wilco released a new album called Schmilco, the follow-up to their 2015 surprise release, Star Wars. Schmilco is a welcome chilled-out effort to follow the rather abrasive Star Wars, and is a good sign that Wilco isn’t going to go the way of so many other bands and lose their magic as they mature into adults. Wilco’s still got the magic, but it’s just not as drug-inspired as it was during the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot days.

Today Wilco release the music video for “Someone to Lose”, which was first released as a single in August in anticipation of Schmilco, and was our choice for the best song on Schmilco. The “Someone to Lose” music video is yet another animated video from Wilco, this time with direction from Joe Baughman. The video features a clay bride who falls in love with a clay worm, and then the worm ends up being eaten by a bird and flies away with the bride on top. In a strange turn of events the worm escapes after the bird falls down a waterfall and — I won’t spoil the ending, but you might say that our bride found “Someone to Lose”…
