Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes hits a grand slam with The People's Key

This week’s **Best New Releases** include some big time albums, including the newest
LP from one of our favorite bands, **Bright Eyes**. After having listened to _The
People’s Key_ a number of times, not only is it **Conor Oberst** and Bright Eyes
in true form, _The People’s Key_ may be their best album of all.

You can click on the album title below to order and download the album now, or you
can stream _The People’s Key_ entirely before deciding if you want to purchase it.

In addition to Bright Eyes, we’re also super stoked about the self-titled debut 
album from the rising indie band **Yuck**. On Tuesday, we published **5 Bands to
Watch in 2011**, with Yuck leading the way. Over the past couple of days there have
been hundreds of streams of Yuck’s songs.

There’s plenty of more new singles from fresh releases included below. But first,
we want to introduce you to Brooklyn band **Old Monk,** who are making their web
debut exclusively on IRC with two new songs from their latest album, _Birds of Belize_.
The track “Butter and Toast” is one of those pop tunes that gets in your head and
stays there all day, but not in a bad way. The band describes its sound as garage
rock mixed with art prog. They include among their influences **The Kinks, Frank
Zappa, Pavement** and** Deerhoof**. Surprisingly, they’ve never opened for another
band, so we can only hope the band get some of the love we think they deserve.
