Tomboy doesn't drop until a week from tomorrow, but NPR has given the album its Exclusive First Listen treatment.

Tomboy is streaming in its entirety over at NPR music. The album has been kept under wraps quite well -- there have yet been no leaks. This stream by NPR is most likely the first time many people -- myself, included -- get a chance to listen to Tomboy. I'll go so far as to say that the album is pretty solid. I would expect nothing less from Panda Bear.

Now we wait to see if Tomboy will, in fact, be named Pitchfork's album of the year.

Tomboy is out 4/12 via Paw Tracks. Tracklisting is as follows:

01 You Can Count on Me

02 Tomboy

03 Slow Motion

04 Surfer's Hymn

05 Last Night at The Jetty

06 Drone

07 Alsatian Darn

08 Sheherezade

09 Friendship Bracelet

10 Afterburner

11 Benfica
