This is the first Best New Releases of 2011. Most of these records were officially dropped on 1.11.11. There are some really exciting, interesting releases this week, good ones to use those left over iTunes or Amazon gift cards on.
The newest album from Cage The Elephant is already on our best albums of 2011 list, and doubt it will come off by the end of the year. If you’ve not yet one of the wicked, it’s time to turn on to CTE. Also, British Sea Power‘s new LP is something else; listen to the lead single here. Plus, Cake drops their first album in seven years today, Showroom of Compassion, and new releases from Tapes N Tapes, Tape Deck Mountain, Broken Records, Birds of Avalon, and many others.
