Bolachas Now Playing is our Spotify new music playlist, updated every Wednesday, with two hours of brand new tracks. You can follow it here. There are also YouTube Music and Tidal versions, too. Explore this category to see all the 400+ weekly playlists we have created since 2015.
This week in Bolachas Now Playing, while we write our Vodafone Paredes de Coura roundup, we present the new great Zachary Cale record, out now on No Quarter. There are also new songs by Destroyer, Panda Bear, Kevin Morby, Low, Carly Rae Jepsen, James Elkington & Nathan Salsburg, Lindi Ortega, Rayland Baxter, and Roosevelt, along with a Glen Hansard cover of an old Songs: Ohia song, off his tribute EP to Jason Molina. Playlist and tracklist below.
This week, in our playlist, we preview the Vodafone Paredes de Coura 2015 festival with 24 songs by some of our favorite artists playing at this years’ festival: Father John Misty, The War On Drugs, Steve Gunn, Mark Lanegan, White Fence, Iceage, Slowdive, Waxahatchee, Lykke Li, Natalie Prass, Woods, and Charles Bradley.
The long awaited Daniel Romano new record, If I’ve Got Only One Time Askin’ is out now. There are three songs off it on our new weekly playlist and there will probably be more in the weeks to come. Such a fantastic album. There are also new songs by Prince, Lianne La Havas, Ought, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Low, Watkins Family Hour, Richard Hawley, and songs off three Paradise of Bachelors (probably our favorite record label right now) new and future releases: David Morris & Red River Dialect, Promised Land Sound, and Gun Outfit. This is one hell of a collection of songs. Listen to it below.
This week on Bolachas Now Playing we’ve got two more songs off country darling Ashley Monroe’s great new album, The Blade, along with a tasteful mix of folk, indie rock and rnb tunes for your listening pleasure, which includes a brand new Kurt Vile track – probably his best since ‘Freak Train’ (calling it!). There’s also new and recent music by the likes of Vetiver, Chuck Johnson, Great Lake Swimmers, Titus Andronicus, Field Music, Son Little, Bilal, Jill Scott, and Janet Jackson.
Last Friday we were surprised by an unannounced new Wilco record, Star Wars. Of course that’s the highlight of this week’s playlist – check out 4 of its 11 tracks below, on Bolachas Now Playing #27, along with two new tracks off Jason Isbell’s new album, Something More than Free, and new songs by Iron & Wine and Ben Bridwell, Heather Woods Broderick, Rachel Grimes, City and Colour, and Nap Eyes.
