Composition

Recording for a new album began in November 2003. The album was produced by Jim O'Rourke, who produced Foxtrot and was a member of Wilco side project Loose Fur. O'Rourke encouraged lead singer Jeff Tweedy to develop his guitar skills for the album--Tweedy recently became the lead guitarist for the band due to the dismissal of Jay Bennett during the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot recording sessions.^[6][7] Tweedy sought to play solos on the album that were unlike those of jam bands such as Phish and The Grateful Dead. Instead, he performed composed solos influenced by Television such as the one during the coda of "At Least That's What You Said".^[8] Tweedy refers to the guitar solo at the end of the track as a "musical transcription" of one of his panic attacks.^[9] A Ghost Is Born was recorded in a different manner than Foxtrot or 1999's Summerteeth; whereas those recordings were performed live in the studio and then overdubbed, A Ghost Is Born was first performed on Pro Tools and only played live once completed. Tweedy was excited about writing an album this way:^[8] ORourke in Stockholm 2005 Jim ORourke (born 1969) is an American musician and producer. ...

An unusual feature of A Ghost Is Born is the fifteen-minute long track "Less Than You Think". For the song, each band member created a synthesizer noise that mimicked an electronic sound. The installations were simultaneously activated in the room and recorded. The noise, which served as the coda to the song, was remixed to provide dynamics to the track. Calling it "the track that everyone will hate," Tweedy defended the song's inclusion on the album:^[10] In music, dynamics normally refers to the softness or loudness of a sound or note, but also to every aspect of the execution of a given piece, either stylistic (staccato, legato etc. ...

A Ghost Is Born was the first Wilco album with multi-instrumentalist Mikael Jorgensen; he had previously worked as an engineer with the band on their collaboration with The Minus 5. Jeff Tweedy provided lead vocals and acted as lead guitarist for the only time since the band formed. John Stirratt, the only original member aside from Tweedy, played bass and guitar. Glenn Kotche and Jim O'Rourke, Tweedy's associates from Loose Fur, acted as drummer and multi-instrumentalist, respectively. Leroy Bach played a variety of keyboards as well as bass guitar. All members of the band contributed with a synthesizer part on "Less Than You Think".^[11] Mikael Jorgensen is a member of the band Wilco. ...

Marketing and promotion

Wilco began touring in support of Ghost even before the album had been released. Multi-instrumentalist Leroy Bach left the band after the recording sessions to join a theater production, so Wilco added jazz rock guitarist Nels Cline and multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone to replace him.^[12][13] Sansone had been playing with The Autumn Defense, a side project led by bassist John Stirratt. However, the tour to support the album had to be abridged. In May 2004, Tweedy checked himself into a rehabilitation clinic in Chicago, Illinois due to chronic migraine headaches, anxiety attacks, and clinical depression. In the process of treating the ailments, Tweedy had acquired an addiction to prescription painkillers. His rehab led to the cancellation of the European stage of the tour and a delay in the album's release date. Intended for release on June 8, 2004, the album was officially released on June 22, 2004.^[14] A multi-instrumentalist is a musician who plays a number of different instruments. ...

The band also webcast the album in its entirety on the Internet in a promotion with Apple Computers. Nonesuch was willing to allow the MPEG-4 broadcast due to the success of a similar broadcast in the promotion of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Additionally, Wilco offered a free extended play to purchasers of the album. The EP featured two outtakes from the album—"Panthers" and "Kicking Television"—and live versions of "At Least That's What You Said", "The Late Greats", and "Handshake Drugs". The EP was later packaged with the album and sold as a "deluxe version".^[15] Apple Computer, Inc. ...

Reception

In its debut week, A Ghost Is Born peaked at number eight on the Billboard 200 chart and sold over 81,000 copies—the highest U.S. chart peak and best sales week ever attained by the band at that time.^[16][17] As of April 13, 2007 the album has sold over 340,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan.^[4] The album was an international hit as well, peaking at number twenty-four in Norway, number twenty-nine in Sweden, number thirty-three in New Zealand, number thirty-four in Belgium, and number thirty-seven in Ireland.^[18] The Billboard 200 is a ranking of the 200 highest-selling music albums and EPs in the United States, published weekly by Billboard magazine. ... is the 103rd day of the year (104th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Like Foxtrot, A Ghost Is Born was well received by critics.^[19] John Parales of Rolling Stone called the album "as eerie as anything Wilco have recorded yet" and applauded "Tweedy offers illuminating curiosity about what can happen in a song."^[20] Stylus Magazine gave it an "A" grade, named it "album of the week", and claimed it was "even more brilliant" than Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.^[21] Michael Metevier of PopMatters also supported the notion that Ghost was better than Foxtrot, calling every note "purposeful" and said that the album made him "surprised and delighted enough to last several lifetimes."^[22] In 2005, A Ghost Is Born won two Grammy Awards for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Recording Package.

Not all publications shared these views about the album. Pitchfork Media, who had given Yankee Hotel Foxtrot a perfect 10 rating, only gave Ghost a 6.6, calling it "wildly uneven" and "less cohesive than any other Wilco release."^[24] Robert Christgau, one of the few detractors of Foxtrot, called the album a "privileged self-indulgence" due to its extreme musical dynamics.^[25] A typical example of Pitchforks main page, as of 12-12-06 Pitchfork Media, usually known simply as Pitchfork and occasionally shortened to P4K, pitchy, or pfork,[1] is a United States-based daily Internet publication devoted to music criticism and commentary, music news, and artist interviews. ...
