How’s this for a helluva deal? From now through August 13th, Wilco, the contemporary rock band beloved and admired by many, is offering its new album Star Wars as a free download. If you’re into physical product, you can get the 11 song CD when it comes out August or wait until November 27 for the 12-inch vinyl record. Or all of the above.
As bandleader, singer, guitarist and songwriter Jeff Tweedy said, “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?”
Indeed. Click on the band’s name above to go to their website and enter your email to get the download directly from the band. Or pre-order the compact disc or vinyl album there and get entered into a weekly drawing that begins on July 30 to possibly win include items like handwritten lyrics to Star Wars by Jeff Tweedy, tickets to any 2015 headlining show, an undeveloped disposable camera from Wilco and a signed test pressing of Star Wars. The free download is also available on iTunes, Amazon and Google Play, or you can stream it on Spotify, Apple Music and Rdio.
See why we say beloved and admired above? And smart, as it’s a great way to build their direct marketing email list.
