    "comment": "The way Jeff Tweedy tells it, 'Twilight Override' — his new triple album, with 30 songs on three discs — got its start on a road trip.\n\nTweedy was planning a four-hour drive with his two sons. He decided it was a good occasion to listen all the way through “Sandinista!,” the 1980 triple album by the Clash: a sprawl of brash, style-hopping songs and studio experiments. Soon, the idea of making his own triple album took hold. In a video interview, he jokingly dubbed the new album “Sad-inista.”\n\nA triple album is “counterintuitive,” he said. “By giving somebody a lot of music to luxuriate in, you’re setting up a little barrier. But it’s also for a certain type of listener to be rewarded. And I just thought that it flies in the face of a culture that’s gotten faster, more surface level.”\n\nRead more about the band and recording the album here:\nhttps://www.highroadtouring.com/how-jeff-tweedy-made-a-new-magnum-opus",
