Tom DeLonge Just Sang on His Very First EDM Song
A new collaborative track from Illenium and Angels & Airwaves is out now
Published Oct 23, 2020
Further proof that he's willing to do absolutely anything as long as it's not related to Blink-182, movie-directing alien hunter Tom DeLonge has sung on his very first EDM song.The track arrives via Chicago future bass artist Illenium, and it's somehow credited to both Tom and Angels & Airwaves.
While it's called "Paper Thin," the song is actually predictably massive as it layers Tom's U2-lite musicianship with synths and big, dumb bass sounds. DeLonge's voice is in a slightly lower register than usual ("Dick Lips" this ain't), fitting it well within his mid-period AVA catalogue.
Listen to "Paper Thin" below and stay tuned for Tom to turn the song into an anime or a young-adult novel series or something.
