We’re a bit late with the past week’s best new releases, but of course, it has to
kick-off with **Shabazz Palaces** remix of **Animal Collective**‘s “New Town Burnout”
from the **Baltimore** group’s new remix EP, _Monkey Been to Burn Town_. Too bad
the album cover art is pretty awful. Even though it’s a reissue, one of the week’s
one top singles is **King Tuff**‘s fun, upbeat and quirky single, “Dancing On You,”
from the remastered, excellent album, _Was Dead_. Sticking with the zany theme, 
the interestingly named **Alex Bleeker and The Freaks** hit it on the track, “Don’t
Look Down,” from _How Far Away_, followed by **Paperhaus**‘ self released _Lo Hi
Lo_ LP’s single, “Helicopters.” The goodness keeps going with singles from new releases(
and one reissue) by **Baths, Brazos, Hooded Fang, Damien Jurado, Kermit Ruffins,
CocoRosie** and **Feathers,** the latter two are both DIY releases. In case you 
missed them, definitely check out the [Artist of the Week: Nick Jaina](https://indierockcafe.com/2013/06/artist-of-the-week-portland-singersongwriter-nick-jaina/),
