Paste streams Josh Ritter's new album

Test drives are win-win situations. Best case scenario, the vehicle is like a home away from home, or an extension of your own self, even though it’s really weird to imagine a human body with windshield wipers. Worst case scenario, you still to go for a nice spin in a new car, and maybe get a free pound cake or Golden Corral coupon out of the deal.

Look to the right of this news update, and you will find an exclusive Paste Station test drive-like preview of Josh Ritter’s new album, The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter, out Aug. 21 on Sony. It's free, it's fast (the load time, anyway) and it's for anyone who likes folk-pop singer-songwriters. The piano-driven third track, “Right Moves,” is especially appealing – a major selling point, if you will, like leather bucket seats and Bluetooth.

The Paste Station features full streams of three songs, indicated below, and 45-second clips of the rest.
