Amidst all the year-end coverage bombarding music fans' ears and eyes at the moment, it'd be easy to miss something like this--but that doesn't mean it's any less notable.

Earlier today, Spin magazine released the tracklist and download link for a free 10-track compilation it's releasing of artists to watch in 2010. And on that list, alongside the likes to The xx, Final Fantasy and The Soft Pack is DFW's own Neon Indian, which is included as the album-closing track on the comp with its song "Deadbeat Summer." Download the disc here, where you'll be asked to provide your email address in return.
