Plus stream (one of the best tracks off the album) "Yankee Bayonet" featuring indie songstress Laura Veirs (Courtesy of Spin.com).

Also hear "O Valencia" from The Decemberists' nifty new MySpace.

And, this link doesn't work for me but, you can stream the whole thing from MTVU.

You can also find a few more from The glorious Hype Machine.
