HuffPost has just premiered this nostalgia-filled brand new video for Explosions in the Sky’s “Postcard from 1952” off their latest record Take Care, Take Care, Take Care. Their latest show in Portugal was (almost) exactly eight years ago, but they’re bound to return in (almost) exactly one month, playing in the first night of the Optimus Primavera Sound festival in Porto.

Last week we’ve informed you of a new Cavalheiro EP, Ritmo Cruzeiro. Fresh off it is this video for my favorite song off the EP, the amazing “Fundo do Mar”, which has been directed by Carlos Marques.

Pocket Chestnut, “Outness EP” (selfreleased, 2012)

Italian folk-rockers Pocket Chestnut had just put out a new four song EP for free download. To celebrate it, the band – old fans of our website – was kind enough to provide our readers a Bolachas-exclusive Mediafire download link so you can listen to it anywhere. Grandaddy fans will certainly find Outness to be seriously interesting… Stream it below and take your own conclusions. There’s also a limited edition of 200 CD-rs available on their upcoming live shows; if you don’t live in Italy just contact them and they’ll send it to you for 3 euros + shipping.

I discovered Maps & Atlases a while ago, when I was sent a physical promo copy of their 2010 album, Perch Patchwork. And I enjoyed it, even though the title track really, really, REALLY reminded me of a tune on Pokémon Sapphire for Lilycove City. Good game, by the way. Gotta catch’em all. Anyway, my point is this: if you want me to listen to and enjoy your band, send physical copies of your records. I’ll give you my address and everything and write the best review you’ll ever read. Honestly. “Remote & Dark Years” is Maps & Atlases’ first single for their upcoming album, “Beware & Be Grateful”, and it’s a nice folkish rock song in the vein of Bruce Springsteen, whose show I’ll miss next month BECAUSE I WAS SCHEDULED A COLLEGE EXAM FOR THE NEXT FUCKING DAY AND
