Today's Pick

Angels & Airwaves (AVA) has gone through a series of lineup changes over the years, and this year became a duo with Blink-182's singer-guitarist Tom DeLonge and Nine Inch Nails' drummer Ilan Rubin. The band have debuted a music video for their electronic-led new soaring track, "The Wolfpack," which is the first single taken from their latest fourth album, "The Dream Walker," but that's only a piece of a much larger trans-media project aptly titled "Poet Anderson The Dream Walker," which will also include a short film, comic books, a graphic novel, videos and animations.
"The Wolpack" encompasses melodic layers that flow seamlessly into an undeniably catchy song. Romanticized lyrics build around a fantasy, a vision of forests and sunsets. Written, recorded and co-produced by frontman DeLonge, the colossal electro-inspired new track is described as "a bit of a journey in and out of the many teeth of the music business - an industry that can be a sexy girl on one hand, but a vicious axe murderer on the other." The catchy tune is a great addition to the vast Angels & Airwaves back catalog.
Directed by Mark Eaton, the dark, smoky clip, features a crowd in animal masks, the girl from the single who "bites like a wolf," and a lot of drunken hallucinations. It follows a forlorn-looking protagonist in a bar as he trying persistently to find an unforgettable girl that he just can't seem to get off his mind, seeing her in dreams and hearing her voice when she isn’t there. The weird part of the video is that the people the guy believes to be the girl all turn out to be women wearing plastic creepy animal masks.
