Stream the new album from the Cars

The first album in 24 years from recently reunited rock band the Cars, Move Like This, is available to stream exclusively over at Rolling Stone’s website. Aside from a string of tour dates from the Ric Ocasek-led group, the Cars will also heading the 20th anniversary of Lollapalooza at Grant Park in Chicago this July. Tickets are still available.

For New York City fans, the Cars will be playing the general admission Roseland Ballroom on May 25th and tickets for that show are also still available for $52+fees. I’m pretty sure I’m going, but I’m hoping to get a photopass to take some photos.

What do you think of the new album? The album art is atrocious….
