OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #382

No Comments

A very late one, because I’m on vacation. Mostly been sleeping though, because I’m so tired. But here’s what I managed to put together.

New Reb Fountain is the album of the week. There’s also great new albums from Johanna Samuels, Alex Dupree, Pony Bradshaw, Sunfingers (EP from June, but I just discovered it thanks to New Commute), Hank Heaven (EP), Attention Bird Utopia (EP), Laura Veirs, Phoebe Bridgers, Ada Lea (EP), Lindsay Lou, Auguste Patino, Kelly Doyle, Dent May, Attic Abasement, Real Numbers, Elizabeth Cook, Bronwyn and Clayton Nile Young.

Finnish part of this has new singles from Knipi, Ani Harmi, Meriranta, Miika Leivo, Pietarin Spektaakkeli and Inariveljet.

Some early favorites on the international singles part came from Panamint, Emmett Morris, Cooper Kenward, Sharp Pins, Samantha Crain feat Ken Pomeroy, Jon McKiel.. again just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters though. I will spent the next weekend at Stockholm Roots so there either won’t be a new music weekly at all or I will do it on Monday when I’ve returned from travel. The first option is much more likely, because I probably will be too tired on Monday. So next one will most likely be two weeks from now and I try to cover two weeks with that one.

OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #380

No Comments

Again a bit behind the schedule with this due to a lot of live music, but here’s what I managed to put together.

The Sons of Rainier made the album of the week. There’s also great new ones from Ed Askew, Triptides, Cormac Nagle (EP), Futo (EP), Mopar Stars, Shannon Lay, Reverend Barton, Elijah Wolf, GA-20 & Charlie Musselwhite and The Family.

Finnish part is again short with only a few singles. However, these songs are very dear to me. M.I. Laine & Sortumavaara and Rakas Eden have both become huge personal favorites during the last year or so. The ones who follow me on Instagram might already be too aware of my love for their music. Unfortunately I see no end to the continuous praising, because I love these new songs just as much as the older ones. Extremely highly recommend music. Our man in Berlin, Aleksi Oksanen rounds up the Finnish part of this.

Ian Noe and Chris Lyons can share the international single of the week honor. Other early faves came from Angela Autumn, Flora Hibberd, Max Bien Kahn, Corey Parsons, Tre Burt, Charlotte Le Lievre, Twilark, Zoe Fox and the Rocket Clocks, Clara Mann, Talise, Joel Cusumano, The Real Numbers, 2nd Grade.. again just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the other promotional nonsense. It all matters though. Back next week. A lot of live stuff again on the weekend, so probably late Sunday edition again. We’ll see. Love.

1. The Sons of Rainier – Nothing But Time (Nothing But Time)
2. Ed Askew – Tough Guys (The Final Painting, Drag City)
3. Cormac Nagle – The Auld Hotel (Cosmic Concerns & Cowboy Chords EP)
