The album’s sound is classic Wilco, with plenty of guitar shredding and a couple of acoustic country songs. And no, it doesn’t really have anything to do with _Star Wars_, the movie, but the cover does include a fabulously kitschy cat. Front man Jeff Tweedy has a simple justification for the band’s magnanimity in making the album free. “It felt like it would be fun,” he said on the band’s [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/wilcohq?fref=ts "undefined") page. “What’s more fun than a surprise?” Download _Star Wars_, the album, [here](http://wilcoworld.net "undefined"). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3962146/wilco-star-wars-new-album-download/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3962146/wilco-star-wars-new-album-download/"},"headline":"Wilco's Latest Album Star Wars Can Be Downloaded for Free","datePublished":"2015-07-17T02:57:46.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T09:20:37.360Z","description":"And no, it has nothing to do with Star Wars the movie","url":"https://time.com/3962146/wilco-star-wars-new-album-download/","keywords":["Music","U.S.","Star Wars topic"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf6cc724e4d607011/69885b58e53abaae314dea75/474575398.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Joanna Plucinska","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/joanna-plucinska/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf6cc724e4d607011/69885b58e53abaae314dea75/474575398.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"3rd Annual Shaky Knees Music Festival - Day 2","caption":"3rd Annual Shaky Knees Music Festival - Day 2","creditText":"Chris McKay—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3962146/wilco-star-wars-new-album-download/","name":"Wilco's Latest Album Star Wars Can Be Downloaded for Free"}}]}] ```
