GOLDEN GOLDEN GOLDEN GOLDEN

This is how the new Point Reyes album, aptly titled Golden begins. If you’ve been following them since we first posted their debut EP, Wetnurse/Point Reyes early last year, you’ll notice quite a lot of stuff has changed in their music. Opening track “Golden” relies quite a bit on new member Nini Julia Bang’s impressive backup vocals – and dude, you’ll be amazed when the Danish singer takes the spotlight later in the record. The good news? You can stream the whole thing now on Big School Records’ bandcamp and download the title track through our soundcloud. Over and out. STAY GOLDEN.

a BOLACHAS.ORG premiere

Southern Portuguese singer-songwriter Mandrax Icon will finally release his debut LP on vinyl, Mary Climbed the Ladder for the Sun, this summer on his own label, Nostril Records. There’s no definitive release date yet, but this thing we know: Cakes and Tapes will be joining the party, releasing 33 copies of it on cassette. That’s how much I love this.

While we all wait for it, I’m proud to present you my fav track from the album, also named “Mary Climbed the Ladder for the Sun”, probably the best album/song name released this year. Kinda reminds me of 2010’s best one, Swans’ My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky. Luckily for all of us, the song is even more amazing than the title itself; sprawling over almost six minutes, we get a certain The Tallest Man on Earth feel due to the finger-picked guitar (his major influences also include legendary guitar players like John Fahey or Jack Rose, so you know he gets things right). Love it when the hammond (played by guest Silas Ferreira, from Os Pontos Negros) kicks in at 1:18. You all should know by know that a hammond is strictly necessary to turn a good song into a great song, right?

BOLACHAS PREMIERE: Breton Parks, “Figure It Out On My Own”

Breton Parks’ debut album, Whelk, was criminally overlooked when it was released last Summer. He’s currently recording his yet unnamed sophomore record that should sound just about as good as the first one, judging from the sample he has just sent me for you all to listen. “Figure It Out On My Own” is the first song off it, a plain steady 90’s-infused indie rock song, the perfect song to kick off your first day of work of 2012. You can listen and download it below on the SC widget, and you can also listen to and download Whelk for free on his Bandcamp.
