Quoi de plus amusant qu’une surprise s’exclame Jeff Tweedy avec la sortie en plein été de Star Wars en téléchargement gratuit jusqu’à mi août puis disponible en CD le 21 août et en vinyle le 27 novembre sur leur label dBpm Records, le tout en pré-commande ici. Star Wars est une chouette collection de titres dont on retiendra Random Name Generator et son riff aguicheur, le tendu You satellite et le munificent Magnetized qui lorgne du côté de la rue de l’abbaye.
Jeff Tweedy précise : “We’ve been feeling very fortunate lately being reminded of how long we’ve been able to do this. We believe one of the primary reasons for our good fortune has been our audiences reaction to our impulse to be heard and our habit of erring on the side of that desire to override financial ambition. Not that we don’t enjoy getting paid. We do. But this is a recommitment to the idea that music is more important to our lives. Art is more worthy of our striving. And fun is more sustaining than cash. It’s not intended to be a comment on the music business, just one band’s wish to give our fans a jolt of joy: a fun surprise. In that spirit we hope you will accept this gift and if not, well, maybe next time.”
