Another week where new music was a little bit on the backburner. This time to due to Olympics. But here’s what I managed to put together. Either there was lot less albums than usually or I just missed a lot of stuff.
Black Sea Dahu is the album of the week. Other album gems this week came from Lammping, Tim Easton, Samantha Henson, Jeffrey Martin (live), Daily Worker and Sammy Kay (EP).
A lot of great Finnish stuff this week. Especially a lot of amazing singles. The High Tydes made a true pop gem. One of big personal favorites Viljami Kukkonen released a new song. Kielo Kärkkäinen, Krypta, Maustetytöt and Tuomas Räisänen pure gold as well. And they all are. Other singles came from Sin Cos Tan, Markus Perttula, Vilma Talvitie, Arppa & Jiri-serkku, Hot Heros & Janne Laurila, Morimus, Nina Kaitaranta and Pykäri. Also some gorgeous albums too from Akkajee, Pambikallio, kukkatalo and Asla Jo.
New Alela Diane can be the international single of the week. Other early faves came from Jobi Riccio, Libby DeCamp, Charlotte Le Lievre, The Deslondes, John Andrews & The Yawns, Jackie West, Juni Habel, Emily Nenni.. again just to name a few.
That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Back next week with hopefully a deeper dive into the new music. I might find another excuse too. I’ve been a rather good at making excuses all year long. Oh well. There’s still a lot of new music week even though I’ve missed more than usually. 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.
