As part of their First Listen program NPR have made The Walkmen’s sixth studio album Lisbon available to listen to in its entirety as many times as you want, completely free on their site for the next two weeks until it is officially released. Just head to this page to take advantage right now.
And if you like it, make sure you go out and buy it, or go see the guys in concert at the very least.
