In a recent interview published in the Houston Chronicle, Jeff Tweedy made it clear, in case we couldn't tell, that he dictates the musical direction of Wilco:

I started the band, and it's definitely my band...I think it's always been understood that it's my band. It's just been about whether I could handle that situation.

You definitely have to have some kind of direction. That doesn't mean you tell people what to do with an iron fist, but you have to steer the ship.

So, we should take him seriously when he says the band may endeavor to create a dance album:

We've got a lot of interest in making something really propulsive. Something I call a 'dance' record -- thinking of like Sly Stone or the Spiders' krautrock.

Tweedy's only hesitation is that he is white and afraid to move:

I want to know if I've gotten to the point in my life where I feel comfortable moving my body. Maybe not on stage, but in the studio. I'm painfully white. I don't want to live the rest of my life like that.
