Erickson, who died in 2019, is remembered as a pioneering figure of the early psychedelic rock scene. He was the founding frontman of the 13th Floor Elevators, beginning his career with them in 1965. In addition to three studio albums released by the band, he had a prolific solo career.

Wilco’s latest studio album was 2019’s Ode To Joy. In our 9/10 review of the record, we said: “Ode To Joy counters the loose and low-stakes nature of Star Wars and Schmilco in a series of finely honed reflections that adds a new perspective to the conversation of politics.”
