Click on the image to watch the new Butch Walker and The Black Widows video for "Summer of '89", the first single off their brand new album "The Spade".

Butch & Co. teamed up with "The Royal Tenenbaums" and "Rushmore" star Seymour Cassel for this video: "When my video director, Shane Valdez, said Seymour Cassel wanted to star in it as the "video director", that was just icing on the poundcake" tells Butch to Rolling Stone. "The idea was to borrow some ideas from really bad rock videos in the late Eighties and put them in perspective now". Enjoy!

We're just a week away from the release of the new Butch Walker and The Black Widows album "The Spade", officially out on August 30th through Dangerbird Records.

As reported earlier, this is the second record by Butch and The Black Widows (the first was "I Liked It Better When You Had No Heart", released last year) and the sixth Walker's album since Marvelous 3 disbanded in 2001.

You had the chance to preview three new songs so far, namely "Summer Of '69", "Day Drunk" and "Synthesizers".

Now, thanks to PasteMagazine, you can stream the whole album, defined "a blend of the alt-country flair he channeled in his past albums and the snarky pop hooks he seems to feel more at home with."

BUTCH WALKER and The BLACK WIDOWS

Directly from Butch Walker: "Here's another little sonic nugget of musical balderdash (I don't even know what that word means, but i thought it needed to be used in modern language)... it's a song called "Synthesizers" and it is a PARTY. The record release date for "The Spade" is right around the corner (AUG 30th!!!!!), so to get you even more excited, we decided to throw you another audio bone. enjoy this one. it's pretty fun and funny. Listen to it now on ew.com!"

Remember that on Butch's website you can listen to other two new songs, "Summer Of '89" and "Day Drunk".
