Stream Joanna Newsom’s New Album, Divers, For 48 Hours Via NPR Music & CBC Music http://www.npr.org/2015/10/19/449323861/one-for-the-ages http://music.cbc.ca/blogs/2015/10/First-Play-Joanna-Newsom-Divers
Release week is upon us, people! It’s time to dive in! For the next 48 hours leading into release day, Joanna Newsom’s long-awaited Divers is available to stream in its entirety in North America via NPR Music’s “First Listen” and CBC Music’s “First Play.” This album won’t be on any streaming services, so now’s your chance to stream in abundance before owning the record on Friday. From cover stories of the New York Times’ Sunday Arts & Leisure and Los Angeles Times’ Sunday Arts & Books, to multiple “Album of the Week” reviews in the UK (The Times, Financial Times and The Independent), excellent pieces in The New Yorker, The FADER, a Best New Music on Pitchfork, and, of course, a fabulous essay by the aforementioned NPR Music, the praise thus far is wonderfully intense and widespread. And so damn deserved!
Joanna heads overseas for a European tour at the end of this month, and then will embark on her first North American tour (in four years!) in December. Additionally, the “Divers” video, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, continues its theatrical run through Thursday. All theaters are listed here.
