Bobby Womack, yes I’m typing everything and not just pasting names, Ephemerals, Jamie Woon, John Grant, Freddie Gibbs, Blood Orange, The Album Leaf, and Floating Points. Enjoy it.

Vodafone Paredes de Coura 2015 – the review

Writing a review about Vodafone Paredes de Coura is always one of the most painful things I can do as a music writer. First, if I am to judge the musical performances – and, of course, some of those were pretty forgettable, others not even worth mentioning, as there are always some rotten strawberries even in the nicest basket – I can never do justice to how good the festival is as a whole. Second, if I’m to write a review, it means this years’ edition of the festival – and the best week of the whole year for most people who attend it – is over, and there are 51 boring weeks left until we return.
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.
Courtney Barnett + 12

Another week, another Bolachas-curated playlist, with two added Natalie Prass songs – we’re really high on her selftitled debut LP – as well as brand new songs from indie darlings Torres and Courtney Barnett, two more songs from January habitués The Decemberists and Belle & Sebastian, a bunch of both upcoming (Adia Victoria) and established (José González, Jim White) singer-songwriters, refreshing new singles from Mikal Cronin and Lower Dens, a couple of songs from crossing-over R&B musicians D’Angelo and Jazmine Sullivan, as well as a chilly new tune by Chilly Gonzales. Follow this playlist if you want your weekly fix delivered every Monday.
