’s music, going back to the Wilco frontman’s days with alt-country firebrands Uncle Tupelo, and found himself putting in some of Tweedy’s recordings as guide or “temp” music.

Winter sent the Tweedys a cut of the film and explained why their music worked so well. “The soundtrack has a lot of emotion and intimacy,” Winter says. “The movie is very intimate and personal, and I wanted the music to feel like more than just score. I wanted it to feel like another character in the movie. Jeff, Spencer and [Jeff’s other son] Sam have so much personality in their music, so it just adds an enormous amount to the doc.

To tap into the mood of the film, the Tweedys also challenged themselves to write differently. In the past, the brothers would usually take a chord progression that Jeff had come up with and then add to it. For, they looked at the cut and listened to the temp music Alex had placed and they built up their pieces systematically. One of them would play an electric-guitar progression or a synthesizer drone and then they’d use other instruments to add layers and depth to it.

“They’re both obviously really sincerely in love with music,” Spencer says. “We pretty much got to listen to the material we had worked on and make a couple of adjustments together and have lunch.”
