Today, on his 69th birthday, David Bowie releases ? (Blackstar), yet another vital dispatch from one of music’s truest living legends. It’s Bowie’s 25th full-length album (27th if you count the Tin Machine LPs), yet somehow it’s unlike anything he’s done before, skipping across landmarks from throughout his storied discography in service of a shockingly fresh vision. These seven eerie krautrock-jazz hallucinations comprise the year’s first must-hear LP, so hear them all below.

Blackstar is out now on Columbia. Get it at iTunes or Amazon.
