Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.'s sophomore LP, The Speed of Things is out on WBR October 8th - but now fans can stream the album a full week early. The New York Times premiered the album today via Press Play, "the place where they debut noteworthy new music exclusively."

What the Press is Saying:

"The artful Detroit duo rolls on as the bastard child of the Flaming Lips and the Beach Boys on its second album. But The Speed of Things shows significant growth beyond 2011's It's a Corporate World, with tighter, more focused songcraft that lets the pair's playful sonics support rather than star in these 13 tracks." - Billboard

 

"Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. makes straightforward, infectious indie-pop that you'll listen to again and again."- Teen Vogue

 

"Have Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. passed one of pop music's biggest tests? Probably. There aren't a lot of low points on The Speed of Things...It takes a few steps forward, undoubtedly, but sticks to the formula - because this formula works." - Under the Radar
