Aidan Moffat's latest album as L. Pierre doesn't come out for another two months, but the onetime Arab Strap frontman has already shared the entire thing online.

The 11-song The Island Come True has been condensed into a single 36-minute track for the purposes of this stream. Moffatt previously said of the scratchy, collage-like collection, "There's something beautiful in hearing the grit and hiss of old recordings. Everything sounds so clean and clinical and perfect today, but I love hearing something that sounds worn and suggests the music has a history. It's gorgeous and sad at once, as though it's lived a life and survived to tell the tale."

The Island Come True arrives on January 14 through Melodic. Pre-order it here, and read more about it here.
