#299: Boy Scouts, “Wayfinder”

“Wayfinder” is the new album by singer-songwriter Taylor Vick, her fourth as Boy Scouts. You should listen to this if you like Andy Shauf. You should still listen to this if you don’t know who Andy Shauf is (really? There’s a song from his new record in this playlist, too).

#251: The Nude Party, “Midnight Manor”

Bolachas Now Playing, a new music Spotify playlist, updated every Wednesday.

The Nude Party are 2020’s kings of cool. Which is kinda unfortunate, since in a normal world they would be everybody’s pick for the next festival season. Feel-good and groovy as it gets, “Midnight Manor” was clearly made for an older world where we’re all out partying. Let’s pretend it never changed.

#247: Colter Wall, “Western Swing & Waltzes and Other Punchy Songs”

Bolachas Now Playing, a new music Spotify playlist, updated every Wednesday.

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.
