Just on my first listen now - this fresh leak isn't out til September. First impressions - excellent. I have always been impressed with the consistently high level of Sam Beam's songwriting, and the bar doesn't look like dropping any time soon. He is obviously enjoying having decent budgets to work with lately as well. The Iron & Wine sound is drifting further and further from the "whispering the vocals so as not to wake the kids" days - there's all sorts of percussion, instrumentation and the odd flash of studio wizardry on display here. Sounds really good. I'll definitely play it again, Sam.
Sorry.

Thanks for sharing this hot leak.
But I don't get the advice to use Foobar unless you're a Mac user. M4A (aka AAC) is not an Apple format -- it's part of the open MPEG-4 standard -- and can be easily handled by any media player that supports the full standard ... including the ubiquitous iTunes. Which means that anybody with an iPod can load these tracks and play them with no prob at all.
Oh right, just that I noticed they wouldn't play on my version of Windows Media Player. I thought m4a's were iPod/Itunes only. Cheers.
