Another summer edition of the new music weekly. A lot of great stuff this week.
New Cinder Well is the album of the week. Also thrilled to get a new one from Philippe Bronchtein. Mock Media is a new one for me, but absolutely loved the song I picked here. I need give that one a proper spin soon. There’s also great new albums from Aaron Lee Tasjan, John R. Miller (now everywhere, previously only physical and download), DUM1, Sulka, Heffner, DD Island (week old but missed it then), Heidi Feek, Vega Victoria (EP), Golden Everything (EP), Max Subar, CR & White Lights, The Binoculars, Waylon Payne and Honest Charlie (two weeks old but missed it then).
Another very short Finnish section, but there’s a great new album from V.Härkönen and a single from Delta Delay. I’m sure there had to be more.
There’s plenty to love on the international singles part of this though. Chris Acker and Willi Carlisle can share the single of the week honors. Sol Hopkins is a new one for me, but love all his singles. Album out next week. I can’t remember whose insta stories I discovered Sol (maybe Jesse Williams), but thanks to whoever it was. Beautiful stuff. Also love some Evan Blix, The Bird Calls, Stripmall Ballads, Two Runner, Mama’s Broke, The Roseline, Jon McKiel, Riley Downing, Jake Xerxes Fussell too.. again just to name a few.
That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Two months to go until the blog is 25 years old. Crazy stuff. I still don’t have any plans to celebrate the achievement, because it’s been a grind to even keep this new music weekly going. Anyway, back next week with another of these things.

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.
