Stream the new Japandroids album, Near to the Wild Heart of Life
On Friday, Jan. 27, Japandroids will release their highly anticipated third album, Near to the Wild Heart of Life, via Anti-. The record was preceded by a handful of track streams, including the title track and “No Known Drink or Drug.” Today, with a little over a week left to go before the album officially hits shelves and streaming services, NPR First Listen is hosting a stream of the band’s new album. Listen to the Japandroids Near to the Wild Heart of Life stream below.
Japandroids are also on tour in just a couple weeks, playing all over North America and Europe. The band’s Feb. 7 show in Austin will be a benefit for Planned Parenthood. Take a look at those dates below.
