As part of their “First Listen” series, NPR is offering up Regina Spektor’s highly anticipated album Far for preview a few days before you can buy it in stores. Although almost half of the songs have already been released via other websites and blogs I am still left with enough songs unheard to keep interest peaked. Now all I need is a few moments here at work when I don’t have buzz saws blaring in my ear to give this a fair listen. Eventually I will get a full review posted.

Far is out June 23rd on Sire Records.
