As you probably noticed already by our playlists, we’re big fans of the New Orleans country scene and its retro-y sound. One of its rising stars is singer-songwriter Esther Rose, whose third album, “How Many Times”, is out now.

Feel-good pop doesn’t seem to fulfil its promise these days. But Arlo Parks‘s debut album, “Collapsed in Sunbeams”, manages to bring a little bit of sunlight-infused pop into our hearts and ears. Extra points for the poetic-feel and the whimsical but very accurate Portra 400 reference.
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.
