Mount Moriah’s How to Dance comes out today. It’s our album of the week (month?) and there’s three songs off it on our weekly playlist. But there’s more: 13 more songs by Damien Jurado, Parquet Courts, Delta Spirit’s Matthew Logan Vasquez, Marlon Williams, Woods, Lake Street Dive, Plastic Flowers, Minor Victories, Pantha du Prince, Rosie Lowe, FKA twigs, ZAYN, and Freakwater.
Mavis Staples’ Livin’ on a High Note came out today and is on our spotlight this week!
This week on Bolachas Now Playing we explore Nap Eyes’ Thought Rock Fish Scale and Nils Frahm’s new project Nonkeen. There are also new songs by some of our old favorites such as Loretta Lynn, M. Ward, Parquet Courts, Kevin Morby, Cian Nugent, Luther Dickinson, Andrew Bird, Whitney, Gun Outfit, Holy Ghost!, and AlunaGeorge.
We’re proud to announce the definitive Portuguese dates of the Paper Beat Scissors European tour (Tim Crabtree solo). Tim will be playing in five Portuguese cities, starting tomorrow (February 10th) in Aveiro, opening for Canadian songwriter Hannah Epperson in Lisbon (11th), and then playing three more shows in Porto (12th), Vila Real (13th) and Évora (15th) before leaving for a couple more shows in southern Spain.
This week’s highlight on Bolachas Now Playing is the new, superb Shearwater record, Jet Plane and Oxbow, perhaps their best album to date. So good we’ve put three songs off it on our playlist this week. But there’s more! We’re visiting other latitudes this week, through new tracks by Robbie Fulks, Suuns, Eric Bachmann, Luís Severo, Promise and the Monster, Gangly, Dawn Richard, Babyfather, Fat White Family, Massive Attack, and Made of Oak.
