The physical release date of Directions To See A Ghost, the new record from Austin-based psychedelic/folk rockers The Black Angels awaits on the horizon with a May 13th release date via Light In The Attic Records, but that doesn’t mean you have to wait to hear the music!

“As of April 15th, fans can go to their local record store and purchase a download code for $12.99. This download code lets them download the full album starting on April 15th — one month prior to the physical CD release. Then beginning May 13th, they return to the same store and pick up a FREE copy of the physical CD + Bonus CD EP (featuring four unreleased tracks).” So go ahead, check out the list of participating stores.
