Welcome to the first big release date of the new year. There’s plenty to get your ears around, including, but not limited to:

The Shins (Full album stream from AOL)
The Good, The Bad, And The Queen (Full album stream from AOL)
The Six Parts Seven (Full album stream from AOL)
The Early Years (Full album stream from AOL)
David Vandervelde (Full album stream from Secretley Canadian)
Vietnam (live Daytrotter Session)

If I had to pick, luckily I don’t, I’d start with that fantastic new disc from Kent’s Six Parts Seven.
