North American Tour Begins in October
“[Twilight Override is] very much a response to our times . . . It’s [Jeff Tweedy] pushing back with a kind of defiant joy. It’s him trying to manifest it.” — NPR’s All Songs Considered
“Twilight Override is some top-shelf Tweedy … You can tell that he is on fire right now, creatively speaking.” — Rolling Stone
Jeff Tweedy is set to release the forthcoming triple album, Twilight Override, on September 26th via dBpm Records, and tour extensively across North America and Europe this fall. Today, he releases the new single and one of many album standouts, “Feel Free,” alongside a performance video directed by Lance Bangs. On this acoustic, breezy, meditation on self-expression, belonging, and being present, Tweedy sings: “Feel free // Taking it slow and easy // Even though your heart is racing // Feel free.”
The freedom I’m talking about in this song comes in both small doses and large doses. It arrives at me, at the most free I feel in my life. Which is making a record with my friends and singing a song that I feel like is a part of the past, present and future.
— Jeff Tweedy
In conjunction with the “Feel Free” release, Tweedy announces a fan-submitted lyrics project referencing the song’s closing line: “a song that never ends.” Pulling from listener submissions, he will record an extended version of the song to release at a later date on his Substack, Starship Casual. Fans can submit lyrics here.

Twilight Override is an intentional, sprawling three disc album, a testament to creativity in the face of overwhelming darkness. Recorded and self-produced by Tweedy at his Chicago studio, The Loft, with engineering and mixing from Tom Schick, Twilight Override features Chicago-based friends and family: James Elkington, Sima Cunningham, Macie Stewart, Liam Kazar, and Tweedy’s children Spencer and Sammy.
The three chapters of Twilight Override stand alone, but together, they tell a story of the past, present and future. While Tweedy did not intentionally plan out a cohesive narrative for the album, the connections between the songs became apparent after a few listens. “I’m not trying to imply that I had this all mapped out as a story,” he explains. “The way that this ended up falling together and being arranged—it does tell a story that I think I wanted to tell. That’s what a process does for me. This is why it sounded right to me in this order, aside from tempos and music.”
