While fans await the release of Angels & Airwaves' upcoming album, Tom DeLonge's keeping them satisfied with some new music. On Wednesday (October 21), he teased a collaboration with DJ Illenium called "Paper Thin" and it's coming out on Friday (October 24)!

Don't want to wait until Friday to hear the new track? Fans with Twitter can tweet #Paperthin to unlock an exclusive first listen before the song officially comes out.

DeLonge's been keeping himself plenty busy this year. Though he's yet to detail AVA's new album, he's declared it's one of the best records he's ever done.

"Everything is falling into place and this is probably going to be the best record I have ever done in my life," he said during an interview with RockSound over the summer. During that same chat, DeLonge gave some more insight into the album's sound, calling it "very diverse."

"It’s going to be a very diverse record when it comes out. It’s going to be this Greatest Hits of all of the bands that I love," he added. "From Depeche Mode to The Descendents to Fugazi. It goes on and on. I love so much music that I grab as many elements as any other artist does but then mix them into my own little versions."

"There’s the fastest punk song I’ve ever written on here," he continued. "There’s a song that could have been on a Depeche Mode album. There’s stuff that’s atmospheric and beautiful. There’s a song that’s like Fleetwood Mac.”

AVA has shared three tracks off the project —"All That's Left Is Love," "Kiss and Tell" and "Rebel Girl."

As if that's not enough, DeLonge will also be making his directorial debut with a new sci-fi flick called Monster of California.
