Ada Lea’s debut LP, ‘what we say in private’, was the soundtrack of a big chunk of my summer of 2019. Speak/sung vocals and big melodies reminiscent of recent albums by the likes of Big Thief or Katie von Schleicher. The Canadian singer-songwriter’s new album was just released and it follows up the debut perfectly.
We took a week off because we can. It gave us a few extra days to dive deeper into Snapped Ankles’ excellent “Forest of Your Problems”. The noisy London post-punk (if we can define it like that…) band refines their sound further, bringing us some hip-moving motorik we can use to pretend the world is back to normal and we can all dance again. Responsibly.
Will Stratton’s second album for Bella Union, “The Changing Wilderness”, is our album of the week. Pastoral folk for troubled times, Stratton’s seventh LP is yet another gem to be explored by fans of fingerpicking songwriters.
Bolachas Now Playing, a new music Spotify playlist, updated every Wednesday.
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.
