Julian Casablancas Releasing Album in Cigarette Lighter
Julian Casablancas, frontman of on again/off again rockers The Strokes, has revealed that he’ll release his sophomore solo 
album, Tyranny, in a cigarette lighter shell.
Backed on this album by his new band, The Voidz, this new offering from Casablancas consists of 12 tracks, including the 11-minute lead single, “Human Sadness.” The single can be downloaded today via iTunes, while the album can be pre-ordered from Casablancas’ label, Cult Records, ahead of its September 23 release date.
To clarify, the cigarette lighter packaging is just that – you can’t actually light anything with it. It is, in fact, just being used as a way to make a USB flash drive version of the album look cool. I hate to say it, but mission accomplished. You can get yours today in black, white, or yellow for $22.
If that is too weird or uninteresting for you, vinyl ($26), CD ($16), cassette ($14), and digital download ($3.87) options are available as well.
