In response to an unauthorized leak last week, the Dodos have decided to stream their new LP, Time to Die. Fans can also grab the song “Fables” as a free download and watch a video explaining their “tough” decision. If you like what you hear, don’t forget to download the album all nice and legal-like on July 28th, 2009.

Via press release:

“Time To Die – LP number 3 from SF-based acrobatic folk trio The Dodos – leaked onto the Internet last Wednesday afternoon. A few thousand tweets and a few dozen Rapidshare links later, the September 15^th release finds itself coursing through the veins of the web, more than two months before its official street date. But instead of stamping their feet and fretting over their (far-too-commonplace) misfortune, Meric Long, Logan Kroeber and Keaton Snyder are embracing the leak full-force.”
