It’s hard to believe that this is the last week of new releases for the summer of
2011, but time just flies right by. So it’s good that there are a number of notable
albums for the final hurrah of summer.

Not surprisingly, there is plenty of buzz around the newest offering from the ‘blog
darlings’ (as _NME _once wrote) **Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. **The band’s new album,
_Hysterical_, is available to stream in its entirety via_ Spinner_.

The blistering rockabilly of the** Jim Jones Revue**‘s 2010 self-titled debut album
is finally available in the U.S. this week. Plus, check out the tropical pop of 
the cliche-titled song “An Argument With Myself” off **Jens Lekman’**s new EP, and**
Megafaun** makes a statement once again with their self-titled debut album.

Two of** Slumberland Records**‘ top rooster bands dropped new albums this week. 
The sly, funky lead track, “Trying to Reach You,” from **Portland**‘s indie rock
trio **Nurses** is an appropriate intro to the band’s new album, _Dracula_.  England’s
lo-fi beach pop band **Veronica Falls** lay it down with the lead track “Bad Feeling”
from their self-titled debut album. There just one of a number of noteworthy debut
releases out this week.

Climbers**‘ self-titled, debut album is also out this week with the playful, melodic
lead track, “Chicken 80,” plus the soft, sweet folk ballad from **Meg Baird**‘s
