# Best New Releases – Vetiver, Woods, 13 & God, Thee Oh Sees, Sebadoh, King Post Kitsch, Joel Plaskett, Sebadoh, The Qualia - Link: https://indierockcafe.com/2011/06/best-new-albums-june-14/ - Published: 2011-06-16T03:47:18-04:00 - Author: Max Hammer As summer approaches, you’ll see a spike in posts and playlists on IRC, not to mention plenty of new releases. This week’s Best New Releases, don’t contain any big 2011 anticipated drops, but there are still some terrific singles and albums from bands like Vetiver, Dark Mean, PlanningtoRock, Woods, and many others. But, first, we wanted to kick off this edition of Best New Releases by recommending new albums from a few bands that we featured years ago, before they broke out, and who are still satisfying; in fact, they’ve only gotten better. For example, **Vetiver**, who we are excited about kicking off this mix with a doubleshot of new singles from their sophomore album, plus we are digging **Dark Mean**‘s new DIY release. The official CD release of **Woods**‘ new album,_ Sun & Shade_ (just in time for summer), is out this week. Next up, is a band we featured not long ago called **PlanningtoRock** (but, they’ve gone beyond planning, we should say), followed by a free EP download from **Junior Boys**, and the standout title track, “The Fox” from** Niki and The Dove**‘s new album, and loving the dream pop of **13 & God’**s “Old Age” very much here in the cafe. Plus, listen to and download new tracks from **Thee Oh Sees**, chill out with** Brice Randall Bickford **and get all tranced with** Botantical Bullets. Also of interest are some fresh tracks from albums by bands that are new to us, such as the catchy electro-pop/psychedelic rock track “Walking on Eggshells” by ** King Post Kitsch** from _The Party’s Over_, and the almost equally awesome new-to- us artist** Joel Plaskett** presents “When I Go’ from the impossibly long titled album (see name believe). Plus, there are other great singles from new releases in today’s mix that we hope you enjoy.
