The string section's screaming like horses in a barn burning up

This morning [livejournal.com profile] lunar8i8star was kind enough to point me towards Josh's website, where they've now put up clips from the upcoming album (as well as two full length tracks).

Stream clips from Josh Ritter's upcoming Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter

Early favorites (beside ToA) are "Rumors," "Right Moves," "Open Doors," "Real Long Distance," and "Still Beating." The new album is like a weird mix of M.Ward, Belle & Sebastian, Leonard Cohen, Dylan, and classic Josh. Quite different from his earlier stuff, but so far completely enjoyable. :) August feels very far away.

eta: the best thing is if you listen to "rumors" on a loop while watching my mood icon, because it works! :D *loves*
