Angels & Airwaves Spreading Free Love On Valentine's Day

Angels & Airwaves
Angels & Airwaves, Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge's other band, will release their third studio album, Love, on Valentine's Day... and it'll be free.

DeLonge produced the album, which the band began working on in January after touring with Weezer. Angels & Airwaves previously wanted to release it on Christmas Day, but DeLonge announced in the summer that it had been pushed back to Valentine's Day.

DeLonge says Love differs from Angels & Airwaves' back catalogue because it's more prog-rock influenced.

"It's like blending Radiohead and U2 together with these kind of Pink Floyd moments," DeLonge told Billboard.com earlier this year. "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."

Love will also be accompanied by a film of the same name, which will also come out for free. It was originally supposed to be a documentary about Angels & Airwaves 2006 We Don't Need To Whisper debut album, but it evolved into something that's a bit more artsy, and DeLonge told Billboard.com it's about "a story of human life and destiny but at thes ame time really makes usual moments of life extraordinary.

"It's a circular narrative in many ways, where it kind of sums up the human race in a time capsule."

No track listing for Love has been released yet, but you can hear the first single, "Hallucinations," here.

Angels & Airwaves' most recent album is 2007's I-Empire.
