Five and a half years later, we reach the round number of 250 weeks providing you with fresh new music. That’s a lot of hours of music and a whole lot of hours of work put into this. Congratulate us. This week we bring you “Daughter”, the new record by singer-songwriter Lydia Loveless. It’s probably the most brilliant effort yet from someone we can start shamelessly call the heir to Lucinda Williams’ throne.
Plus: new tracks by Tim Heidecker, Bruce Springsteen, Chris Stapleton, Blitzen Trapper, Brandy Clark & Brandi Carlile, Bella White, The Mastersons, Fleet Foxes, This Is The Kit, Gianna Lauren, The Slim Kings, Kiwi jr, Sunflower Bean, tune-yards, Sufjan Stevens, Sarah Davachi, Hen Ogledd, Sad13, Ian Daniel Kehoe, Christian Kjellvander, Kevin Morby, Cut Worms, Tre Burt, and Grace Gillespie.

One of the greatest mysteries of contemporary western music is how on earth can a Canadian in his early 20s so easily pass for a veteran country troubadour from another time. That sounds natural for Colter Wall, and he’s here to stay. Western Swing & Waltzes and Other Punchy Songs is his third album in four years, and probably the easiest to get into.
New tracks by Andrew Gabbard, The Slim Kings, Nick Garza’s Get Along, TK & The Holy Know-Nothings, Brent Cobb, Chris Stapleton, The Avett Brothers, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Rae Fitzgerald, North Americans, Adia Victoria, Native Harrow, Maya Hawke, Loma, Half Gringa, Samia, Ashley Ray, Deep Sea Diver, Dawes, Nap Eyes, Night Shop, Jacob Faurholt, Ulver, Kelly Lee Owens, The Budos Band, and Lalalar.
