The 'Gum Drop XLIX: Hear New Jeff Hanson, Win A Joy Division Zune
Jeff Hanson's third album Madam Owl comes out on Kill Rock Stars in a couple weeks (8/19), but the gorgeous, soaring, stringed opener "Night" debuted in this week's Drop.

We asked Hanson about what goes on at "Night." Read his responses and listen to the track here.
That is correct, a Joy Division Zune, designed by Peter Saville, and emblazoned with his Unknown Pleasures artwork. Only 500 were made, to commemorate the release of the Joy Division documentary. Don't know it? No worries: The film will come pre-loaded on the custom black Zune 80 player. We have one to give away:
