Dan Wilson Releases "We Ain't Telling"

Dan Wilson announced that he will begin releasing a new song every month in lieu of releasing a new album. He notes, "I decided not to make a formal album for awhile, and just to put out songs one at a time," explains Wilson. "It’s a fun thought and of course I’ve seen other artists do it, it’s not my own invention. But it makes sense for how I create music. My life is no longer separated into album cycles - I’m always writing with people and on my own, and I’m always making records. It’s a constant flow and a constant output of my own and other people’s songs, so why not just put things out as they happen. Once I made my peace with that I realized that the rest of the world had already got there, I could have looked around and done it a lot earlier."

The first song released is "We Ain't Telling." Wilson says of the song, "My new track, 'We Ain’t Telling,' is me in my musical home base: acoustic guitar, a little twangy, a little Americana, (whatever that means,) telling a simple story with some complex emotions bubbling under the surface. I wrote it during a two-month stretch when I was writing a song every day, and this song and a bunch of others got lost in the chaos of that time. I kinda forgot about it for a couple of years. But a few years later I was in a session with Ethan Gruska, Jenny Long, and Evan Vidar to record “Yoko,” and we decided to try this one too. And it just happened. We cut it live, vocals and all, then Ethan added the lead guitars afterwards."
