Taking note from Beyonce and all the rappers in the music world, Chicago’s own, Wilco, has released a new surprise studio album. The 11-track project is titled Star Wars and is available for free download for the next 30 days. “Why release an album this way and why make it free? Well, the biggest reason, and I’m not sure we even need any others, is that it felt like it would be fun,” said Wilco frontman, Jeff Tweedy. “What’s more fun than a surprise?” Tweedy continued. Although Star Wars’ free download will only remain until August 13th, the project will be available for purchase on CD on August 21 and vinyl on November 27.

Vince Staples went all out for his latest music video, in promotion of his debut album, Summertime ’06 (read our reviewhere). In the new video, where Staples raps “I ain’t never ran from nothin’ but the police”, Vince Staples gets handcuffed, arrested, has his mug shot taken, and even gets beat up a little by the police. As one of the stand out tracks from his debut LP, the music video definitely does the track justice.
After months of tortuous teasing from Lana Del Rey, she has finally decided to drop the single, and the album’s title track, “Honeymoon”.
The single is a slow and swelling six minute burn that floats along sweet and serene strings. Staying in her breathy, whispery pocket, it seems she is continuing the departure of her more pop-friendly sound carved out on her first album Born To Die, as this new track sonically sounds more akin to her last full length LP, Ultraviolence.
Look for her new album Honeymoon to be out this September and listen to the new single with the same name below.
