Angels and Airwaves release single, "Hallucinations"

After the break-up/permanent hiatus/indefinite hiatus of Blink-182 in 2005, bassist/singer Mark Hoppus and drummer Travis Barker went on to form the quasi-electronic +44 (I think electronic is what they were aiming for, but whether it qualifies as such is a different issue). Guitarist/singer Tom Delonge, however, formed the alternative space/atmospheric rock supergroup Angels and Airwaves, with the intention of creating the biggest band in the world and changing the music industry forever. +44 may or may not still really exist, but AVA, as Angels and Airwaves is often abbreviated, is going full steam ahead.

I'm a few days late (sorry about that- I was away), but anyway- Angels and Airwaves released their single "Hallucinations", the first off their upcoming third album "LOVE" (due out- appropriately- on Valentine's Day), on Wednesday, December 23. Tom Delonge said on his blog, "As every song on the album deals with the agony and adventure of the word 'Love"....Hallucinations gives the hope that any dream, image or intuition can inspire a change in the way one can see the world around him."

You can download the single for free here.

EDIT 12/28/09 8:10pm: At the very end of "Hallucinations", there's a synth that sounds almost exactly like the synth in "All The Small Things" by Blink-182. Weird, huh?
