He has also announced an accompanying tour of North America for the end of 2025 and Europe in early 2026, including a show at London’s Islington Assembly Hall on February 20. Read on for the full list of dates and ticket information.

As a tease of the album, Tweedy has shared four tracks: ‘One Tiny Flower’, ‘Out In The Dark’, ‘Stray Cats In Spain and ‘Enough’, each with their own videos that you can watch here:

Speaking about the album, Tweedy has said: “When you choose to do creative things, you align yourself with something that other people call God. And when you align yourself with creation, you inherently take a side against destruction. You’re on the side of creation. And that does a lot to quell the impulse to destroy. Creativity eats darkness.”

“Sort of an endless buffet these days – a bottomless basket of rock bottom. Which is, I guess, why I’ve been making so much stuff lately. That sense of decline is hard to ignore, and it must be at least a part of the shroud I’m trying to unwrap. The twilight of an empire seems like a good enough jumping-off point when one is jumping into the abyss.”

“Twilight sure is a pretty word, though. And the world is full of happy people in former empires, so maybe that’s not the only source of this dissonance. Whatever it is out there (or in there) squeezing this ennui into my day, it’s fucking overwhelming. It’s difficult to ignore. ‘Twilight Override’ is my effort to overwhelm it right back. Here are the songs and sounds and voices and guitars and words that are an effort to let go of some of the heaviness and up the wattage on my own light. My effort to engulf this encroaching nighttime (nightmare) of the soul.”
