Columbia Records has announced an international line-up of events that will enable Bob Dylan fans to preview his new album “Tempest” before its official release date of September 11.
Today saw the album’s opening track, “Duquesne Whistle,” receive its world premiere on NPR Online. |
The video for “Duquesne Whistle” debuts at 9 a.m. GMT (4 a.m. EDT) on August 29 on The Guardian website. The video was directed by Nash Edgerton, who previously directed the video for “Beyond Here Lies Nothing” from Dylan’s “Together Through Life” album.
Two days later, on August 31, the website listentobobdylan.com will feature a map of locations in the U.S. and nine other countries (Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom) where selected songs from “Tempest” will be streamed to mobile devices. The tracks will be randomly streamed when users are within the Tempest-tagged geographic areas, utilising the free web-based Sound Graffiti app.
Special Bob Dylan Tempest stores will open for a seven-day period in New York, Los Angeles and London on September 10, giving fans the chance to buy the album one day ahead of its official release date. The stores will also feature other Bob Dylan releases and exclusive merchandising. The Bob Dylan Tempest stores will be located at:
- 819 Washington Street, New York, NY 10014
- 7763 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90046
- 47 Beak Street, London, W1F 9SE.
