Arizona's The Coconauts are back with their second LP. It's been a while since I last sat down with their album Get Coco-Naughty, but this one seems creepier and spacier. It's also a bit more focused as an album, with several interstitial bits to accentuate the creepy, spacey feel. Looks like the tracks from their EP I Drove My Car to Heaven found new version on this one as well. I've barely given this album a full listen, but standouts are the great interplay between guitarists on "Re-Entry" and "Black Hole".

The Exotics have two LPs under their belt: 1996's Go Go Guitars and 2009's The Lost Room as well as a few EPs. A retrospective album like this works in a time sense at over 20 years, but it's still pretty easy to pick up the complete collection too. Their bandcamp says this has a few new and remixed tracks, but I haven't figured out which ones those are.
I've had this one for a few weeks now and have already reviewed it, but the latest Madeira release just became available to purchase from Double Crown. The very quick version: it's another Madeira album, of course it's great, ya dingus. But if you need more convincing they've got a few songs up on their website.
los tiki phantoms - piña colada - y el misterio del talismán (self-released)
the del-vipers - la - terror of the del-vipers (double crown records)
the other timelines - vampcamp - the other timelines (double crown)
barbacoa - pounding surf - barbacoa (self-released)
bombón - La Sirena - a date with bombón (burger)
From what I can tell this is the first release under the Surfaris name since 2005's Wipe Out (which seems to be a completely different version from the 60's version we all know). The lineup here includes original guitarist Bob Berryhill. Haven't been able to dig up information on any other members, but this doesn't include Jim Fuller.
