#516: Kiwi jr., “Blowin’ Up”





Bolachas Now Playing, a new music Spotify playlist, updated every Wednesday.
We’re back from a short vacation with a packed playlist where we feature one of our old favorites. “Gold Record” is midlife Bill Callahan (smog) at his finest: a bunch of non-ordinary songs about ordinary people with ordinary lives. Plus: new tracks by Rodney Crowell, Jerry David DeCicca, Wilco‘s Jeff Tweedy, Daniel Romano, Jeremy Ivey, the Mountain Goats, The Nude Party, Hen Ogledd, a Hawk and a Hacksaw‘s Heather Trost, New Order, Garcia Peoples, shame, Badge Époque Ensemble, William Tyler, Native Harrow, Bella White Music, Lomelda, Adrianne Lenker, Skyway Man, Lucero, Monster Rally, Night Shop, KEVIN MORBY, Dylan LeBlanc, Wyatt C. Lewis, Ben Pirani, Okey Dokey, Fraser A. Gorman, Sumbuck, Thin Lear, and Jim White.

After two more layered, denser, and less critically popular records where we saw Andy Cabic holler at soft rock and psychedelia, “Up on High” is the sound of Vetiver returning to their acoustic beginnings. Welcome to your new favourite Saturday morning breakfast prep folk rock record. Plus: new tracks by Terry Allen, Simon Joyner, Tindersticks, Lambchop, Itasca, Mount Eerie & Julie Doiron, Michael Kiwanuka, Dylan LeBlanc, Theo Lawrence, Charles Rumback & Ryley Walker, Squirrel Flower, The Deer, Cate Le Bon & Bradford Cox, The Growlers, Pinegrove, Iguana Death Cult, Imperial Wax, Pop. 1280, DJ Nigga Fox, Peel Dream Magazine, and Warmduscher.
