Following Wilcos acclaimed 2023 album Cousin, Wilco revisited unfinished material from these sessions to craft Hot Sun Cool Shroud. Collaborating again with engineering mixer Tom Schick, the band crafted six tracks that expand on the sound of Cousin. According to
Jeff Tweedy, they have a summertime-after-dark kind of feeling. It starts off pretty hot, like heat during the day, has some instrumentals on it that are a little agitated and uncomfortable, and ends with a cooling breeze.
