What do Darth Vader's white-clad minions do when not crushing rebellions?

The usual: Sing, nap and read on the toilet—oh, and hold queens hostage in a small apartment.

That is, if you believe that the Imperial Forces found in Scattered Trees' new video, "Love and Leave" are your typical foot soldiers. We don't—and not just because they let Boba Fett jam with them. These Death Stars are totally emo and full of pain, both romantic and light saber induced.

The Tattooine-based Chicago-based Scattered Trees drop its new disc Sympathy on April 5, and we have a new hope that it will be far, far away the coolest cantina rock from here to Mos Eisley.
