Brooklyn-based math rock/psych pop three-piece Celestial Shore present their full-length debut, mixed by Greg Saunier (Deerhoof), issued on Brad Oberhofer's newly-launched label, and featuring vocals by Lorely Rodriguez (Empress Of).

Listen after the jump, and check out the rest of this week's new releases…
