Best New Releases from Beach Fossils, Damien Jurado, Tobacco, Peter Wolf Crier, Junip, Kurt Vile, Ducktails, Elephant Stone

The debut LP from Brooklyn‘s popular band, Beach Fossils, officially drops today. The band is one more break-through band in the past couple of years with a name that conjures up images of the ocean, sand, and sea mammals (Surfer Blood, Freelance Whales, Wavves, etc.). At this year’s South By Southwest festival, Beach Fossils put on one of the most spirited shows of the fest at The Wave Rooftop in Austin.
