The band's fifth album arrived in June 2004, and will receive a deluxe treatment in 2025 featuring more than 60 previously-unreleased recordings.

Alongside its announcement, the band have also shared an alternate version of “Handshake Drugs”, recorded at New York’s Sear Sound in November 2003. Released in June 2004, A Ghost is Born arrived as Wilco ‘s fifth album and as the follow-up to 2001’s difficult (though critically-acclaimed) Yanke Hotel Foxtrot. “I was worried the album was going to feel like something dark and not me anymore,” frontman Jeff Tweedy told Mehr as part of the record’s new liner notes.
