We’re back for the high season and this week’s playlist is a double playlist – that means we couldn’t put together a 14-16 song playlist like we do every week or two weeks, but we did a 2h+ playlist with 30 of our favorite tunes from the past weeks, starting with the surprisingly motorik new Lambchop 18min tune and visiting new albums by Angel Olsen (pictured above), Big Thief, Kelsey Waldon, Carl Broemel, BJ Barham, or Cass McCombs. Plenty of our favorite singer-songwriters are featured here, so if that’s what you’re looking for, this is your lucky day.

I’ve posted about Will Samson before and I’m still so excited about his new album, Balance that I felt the need to post about him again. The video for “Eat Sleep Travel, Repeat”, made by Trunk Films, was shot somewhere in Portugal during a surf trip and it radiates so many tranquility rays that it seems like the song was made to fit the video and not the other way around. So good that our tourism department should buy the video and stick a “Visit Portugal” logo all over it. Think about that.

Will Samson is not your average singer-songwriter. His blend of fragmented, ambient electronica and minimalist folk sure isn’t that original in the middle of 2012 (not that I’m looking for “originality” in songs) but we’re in for a treat judging from the only song available from his forthcoming album, Balance, coming out next October 5th on German imprint Karaoke Kalk (Dakota Suite, Hauschka).
