Release week is upon us, people, and we're diving right in without a suit! For the next 48 hours leading into release day, Joanna Newsom’s long-awaited Divers is available to stream in its entirety in via NPR Music’s “First Listen!" This album won’t be on any streaming "services," so now’s your chance to stream to your heart's content before owning the record on Friday (own it by clicking here!). Divers is shaping up to be everyone's album of the year, in case you haven't heard (and who hasn't, unless you're a survivalist living off the grid? And if you are doing exactly that, thank you, sir/madam, for staying in touch with us!) - the praise thus far is wonderfully intense and widespread. And so damn deserved - a new Newsom album is a cultural event, after all!
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: all theaters are listed here.
