Only took about a week or so to get overwhelmed with the amount of great new music. But I guess I kind of love that too. So no complaints. But it’s tough to keep track of everything, so I’m sure something obvious is missing.
New Flora Hibberd is the album of the week. I’m a huge fan and this is again a fabulous parade-worthy release. There’s also gorgeous new albums from The Weather Station, Emma Munger, Luther Russell, The Gentle Spring, Ex-Vöid, Prism Shores, Kyle Forester (EP), Pigeon Pit, Little Oso, 20/20, Sophie Jamieson, Melissa Mary Ahern, Cave Flowers and Shane Pendergast.
From the Finnish side of things we have new albums from SaintPolis, Tuomo Mannonen and The Orphan. Plus some singles gold from Lala Salama, The Rosettes, Kissa, Hanhani, Juha Mäki-Patola, Sumukuu, Jere Ijäs, Slack Bird, Vellamo and Cats of Transnistria.
International single of the week is the new one from The Bird Calls. Other early faves came from Jason Isbell, Juliet McConkey, Justin Wells, Sunny War feat Valerie June, Sharon Van Etten, Kristin Daelyn, Butler, Blake & Grant, Asher Kartman, Melissa Carper & Theo Lawrence and Carter Felker. Again just to name a few. There’s plenty and I haven’t had a lot of time listen yet, because this weekend was full of live music and NFL playoffs.
That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Back next week with hopefully less rushed effort. Love.

A few Bandcamp cuts for the lovely non-streamers:
Oh and do buy the vinyl/cd/download. Spotify and other streaming services are perfect for these introductory purposes, but try to buy at least the music that matter the most to you
I’ll make the playlist on Spotify and then transfer it to other platforms. This means a few tracks might be missing from the from the other platforms, if they are not available there. Oh and there’s a bunch of older episodes on my Spotify profile, if you miss an episode or want to revisit.
If you are looking this after a week has gone, the embedded Spotify will show the latest playlist. I’ll just update the same playlist because if someone wants to follow it, they can just follow that one list and will get a new set of songs each weekend.
