In 1998, he released an album called Burnt, White and Blue on his own label, Planet Maker Records.
He had an online project called "Main Output" at MattWilson.com (which is now owned by a different Matt Wilson) where he posted songs in progress (like "The Follidaze of Highland Heights", "Raking Service" and "Troublemaker") and funny photo journals but eventually abandoned it.
From 2001 to 2005, Wilson and John Munson performed as The Flops, renamed "The Twilight Hours" in 2008. He had promoted his new band with John Munson as the Dark Nights with theDarkNights.com but the domain has expired. Wilson's brother Dan Wilson later led the band Semisonic.
Wilson is currently performing once again with John Munson in The Twilight Hours.
