Angels & Airwaves releasing free album/film called “Love”
Tom DeLonge may be busy getting ready for the Blink-182 reunion tour this summer but that doesn’t mean he’s forgotten about his other band Angels & Airwaves.
A&A are releasing a film/album combo entitled Love before the end of this year. In an interview with Billboard, DeLonge said that the project is “the biggest release of my life, the pinnacle of my creativity.”
DeLonge says that the album side of the project will be more prog-rock. “It’s like blending Radiohead and U2 together with these kind of Pink Floyd movements,” DeLonge said. “Things happen unpredictably and take you to these epic soundscapes. It’s very much in the spirit of Angels & Airwaves, but it sounds way, way more thought-out and way more ambitious.”
As for the film itself, it originally started as a documentary of A&A recording their debut album back in 2006 but it evolved into something more. “It’s super conceptual and highbrow in many ways, very artistic, very Stanley Kubrick. But it’s not a rock opera. It’s a very modern version of what could happen when you blend the film industry and the music industry together in a very, very arty, kind of cool way with professionals involved all along the path.”
DeLonge hits the road with Blink-182 starting on July 23rd in Las Vegas, NV.
