John Carpenter shocked the world when he released Lost Themes. The world-famous filmmaker has certainly made his musical talents well known over the last 3 decades or so, but no one expected him to release a full LP of original content. That’s what makes Carpenter one of the all time greats. Not just in horror, but in life.

We’ve known that Lost Themes II was in the pipeline for quite some time. In fact, the album is set to release on April 15th. But since the music landscape has changed so drastically over the years, NPR is steaming (legitimately) the entire album RIGHT NOW. I’m not sure how long this will last, and we totally encourage you to buy the record when it comes out (it’s extra groovy), but you can check out each individual track below–courtesy of NPR. So get to it!!
