Jeff Tweedy Covers Star Moles’ ‘Real Magic’

Jeff Tweedy is making waves once again, this time with a fresh cover of Star Moles’ track “Real Magic.” The Wilco frontman has been closely involved with the burgeoning Historic New Jersey collective, which includes rising stars like Rubber Band Gun and the sibling duo Sam and Louise Sullivan.

Star Moles’ Emily Moales, who performed at Wilco’s Solid Sound festival, has caught Tweedy’s attention, and he’s now championing her work. Moales’ latest album, Highway To Hell, released in March, showcases her quirky, retro-tinted indie-pop style.

In a recent update on his Starship Casual newsletter, Tweedy shared his rendition of “Real Magic,” noting the challenges of singing it in a low register due to hotel room constraints. He expressed admiration for Moales’ songwriting, highlighting the song’s melodic intricacies and the heartfelt lyrics that resonate with listeners.

This cover is a testament to Tweedy’s ongoing support for emerging talent, and fans can listen to it now on Starship Casual. If you haven’t checked out Highway To Hell yet, it’s definitely worth a spin!
