A new trend that's developed over the past few years has been artists making their albums
available for streaming a week (or more) before the release date. Today is a fine example
of the trend as Mike Gordon's Overstep, Beck's Morning Phase and St.
Vincent's St. Vincent are all available for our streaming pleasure.
Mike Gordon's long-awaited follow-up to 2010's Moss, Overstep,
contains 11 varied tracks, some of which have been performed by Phish. Rolling Stone has premiered
Overstep this morning. Take a listen:
Meanwhile, NPR has a "first listen" to Beck's Morning Phase.
The album has been compared to Beck's moody 2002 release Sea Change and after a few
listens we can see why. Head to NPR to give it a spin.
Finally, The Guardian has premiered St. Vincent's self-titled
fifth album, which the paper has awarded five stars.
All three albums are due out one week from today - February 25.
