Wilco just released a free, new album called ‘Star Wars’


God bless you internet / Wilco.

The iconic Chicagoan rock band, heroes to indie kids, young romantics and knitted jumper wearers everywhere, have just released a brand-new, free album titled Star Wars.

The album features 11 tracks and a hilariously adorable cover, and considering there’s so much hype surrounding the impending release of the new Star Wars films, the name is kind of ingenious in terms of marketing.

The band announced they were releasing the record just a few minutes ago on their Facebook page, with the following quote from the band’s frontman, Jeff Tweedy:

“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. What’s more fun than a surprise?”

You’re right Jeff – we LOVE surprises.
