A bit late edition, because I felt pretty tired all day long. Therefore this was a bit of a grind and probably forgot a bunch of stuff. But here we go anyway.
Ken Pomeroy made the album of the week. Other great album releases came from Friendship, Scott Hirsch, Chris Emmert, The Lowtimers, Jenny Mitchell, Bison Bone (EP), Sweet Megg, Erin Durant, Swimming Bell (EP), Julia Sanders, Daphne’s Demise (EP), Now, Gold Dust, First Rodeo, The High Water Marks, Grace Rogers, Ben Hackett, Jared Klok (EP), Jason Joshua, Mike Trask and Mazozma.
Big Finnish release week led by the new Ne Lintuizet album. Great people, great album. Extremely highly recommended. Other Finnish gems are albums from Ghost World, Juovat, Valkea, Moonwards (EP), Faarao Pirttikangas & Kalloreki and Drug Dog. Plus singles from Petra Poutanen, Mitä helvettiä nyt taas, Antti Autio, Arppa, Grande Mahogany, Kärmes, Paula ja Olli and Anton V. Kivi.
New Blair Borax song can be the international single of the week. Such a beautiful one. Other big early faves came from Willi Carlisle, Mariel Buckley, Little Mazarn, Adeline Hotel, S.G. Goodman, Jack Symes… just to name a few.
That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters while I ponder the essense of life and this playlist. Next week new Hectorine album. That’s not an illusion. 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.
