This week on Bolachas Now Playing we feature Lionlimb’s debut record Shoo. You might have heard of them as Angel Olsen’s backing band, but their record is a gem on its own. Plus: Dinosaur Jr, Destroyer, Cass McCombs, Cate Le Bon, Woods, Robert Glasper, Gang of Youths, My Morning Jacket, Andy Shauf,Phosphorescent + Jenny Lewis, Sara Watkins, Hard Working Americans, Robert Ellis, and DEAKIN.
Our NOS Primavera Sound printable timetables are back for the 2016 edition of the festival! You know how it works: either you get your ready to print PDF here, or you download the original XLS file you can edit. About the Royal Headache you’ll have while trying to decide whether to see Brian Wilson or Dinosaur Jr., Mudhoney or Protomartyr, Tortoise or Beach House, Drive Like Jehu or Titus Andronicus, Ty Segall or Shellac… well, there’s nothing we can do about it, but we’ll have a special Bolachas playlist next week entirely dedicated to the festival.
Happy release day to Andy Shauf, whose record The Party is our album of the week! Old favorites Super Furry Animals and Wolf Parade are also back with their first new songs in a while. Plus: new songs by Okkervil River, Karl Blau, Marissa Nadler, Brandy Clark, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Fruit Bats, White Denim, Speedy Ortiz, Mitski, Cullen Omori, Plaid, and Kaytranada.
Plenty of familiar faces on our 16th playlist of the year, and 64th overall. Bolachas Now Playing is getting old, but it won’t retire. Just like the Jayhawks.
The latest Grant-Lee Phillips album and the Jason Molina RSD 7″ (with two previously unreleased Townes Van Zandt covers) are our records of the week.
