It includes "Boxer" from The National and "Be The Void" by the talented Dr. Dog. Each is a 12" vinyl record with an included digital download, so you can listen to the tunes anywhere, from your listening room to the tool shed.

Be The Void Vinyl Record
Boxer
Boxer is the fourth studio album by The National, and the follow up to 2005's Alligator. The effect is a bit grander than its predecessor, thanks to increased doses of piano, trumpet, and background vocals to support the mumbly insight of singer Matt Berninger, smart guitar work of twins Aaron and Bryce Dessner, bassist Scott Devendorf, and his brother Bryan performing lots of small miracles of precision behind the kit. Boxer's twelve tracks set the indie rock world abuzz in 2007, making best-of lists of a great many cultural gatekeepers, including Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and Paste.
Side B
Be The Void
Don't just embrace the void. Be the void. Dr. Dog's seventh album is psychedelic rock at its finest, and has an immediacy and looseness that is long-sought but hard-won. The fast tempos and chaotic arrangements mirror the band's live performances, and favor spontaneity over perfectionism. The album was recorded in Tucson, Arizona, and is twelve tracks of outrageous behavior.
