OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #392

No Comments

Another week, another new music weekly.

The album of the week is the new album by Briar. A new wonderful band / project led by Daniel Romano. This one is not on Spotify. So grab an LP or download or stream it elsewhere. Also note to self to ask the local store, if they are able to order the vinyl for me. New Sam Burton is another big one for me and quite a good companion for the Briar LP too. There’s also great new albums / EPs from Panamint (EP), Aaron Frazer (EP), Chanele McGuinness, Danielle Fricke, Charlie Kaplan, Lydia Loveless (EP), Eliza Edens, Big Riverz, Fanny Lumsden, Wyld Gooms, Stop Hitting Yourself, Aluminum, Mike Viola, Lane Hartley, The National Honor Society, Gurry Wurry, Stephen Steinbrink, Isik Kural, Mike James Kirkland & Monophonics, 2nd Grade (full album is not streaming), Ben Vaughn & Deer Tick, Country Risque, Kaitlin Butts, Ags Connolly, Hunter Flynn and Miko Marks.

Finnish side has a whole lot of Ove, because Ove Ritola turned 50 this week and celebrated it by releasing music from eight different bands. I included The Royal Piss (single), Graceskull (EP) and Mitä helvettiä nyt taas (single) here, but all of them are great. Ok, maybe the archive release of the first band is not in my wheelhouse, but I recommend all the others. New Lätsä single is another big fave. Also really dig the new albums from Stinako feat Njet Njet 9 and Jussi Suonikko. The latter one is a rarity, because it’s atmospheric album composed for octave violin. Other Finnish gems are album from Saaramaija Zorawski and singles from Piip, Paula ja Olli and Maa ilmasta.

New Chris Acker can be the international single of the week. Some other early faves came from Dalton Mills, Iain Micah Weigert, Charlotte Le Lievre, Tom Henry.. 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 another of these. It will be a big week that will shake my at this point imaginary AOTY lists. New Sylvie and Willi Carlisle coming up for example. I thought maybe give a Qobuz another run too and include the last month and a half of weekly playlists and the AOTY lists there too. We’ll see. Love.

OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #390

No Comments

A very late edition of the new music weekly, because I was away for the weekend and only got back about 9pm on Sunday. Probably missed a lot, but here’s what I managed to put together.

Flora Hibberd, Chris Lyons and SOFTJAW can share the album of the week honors. They all hit a bit different places on this onechordnet spectrum, but all are equally wonderful. There’s also great new albums from Exploding Hearts, Alien Boy, Kelley Stoltz, Winter McQuinn & Acacia Pip (EP), Charlie Parr, Sadurn, Nive Nielsen & The Deer Children (a week old, but missed it then), Chloe Kimes, Spencer Burton, Jesse Daniel, Jack Barksdale (EP), The Tender Things, Eels, Darlin’ Brando (EP), @, Jonathan Something, Charissa Hoffman, Andy Shauf (bonus EP for 10 years anniversary of The Party), Ruby Gill, June McDoom, Arborist, Darren Hayman, Firestations, Pardoner, Sunday Mourners (EP), Dropkick, fish narc and Babe Lewis.

The Finnish part is really strong this time around. In fact, the album I’ve listened by far the most is a Finnish one. This is the new Ruissalo Amping album and I’m borderline obsessed with it. Such a beautiful album and definitely extremely highly recommended. Another huge album release too from long time favorite Amuri. Other Finnish gems this week are albums from Hyvät Hevoset, Eidetic Dreams and Martti Vesala Soundpost Quintet, EP from Joy Duran plus singles from Maustetytöt, Radio Supernova, Trees and Lotta Svart.

International single of the week is the new one from Shane Leonard. I love both his own music and production work for others. Great to hear his own stuff after a while. First single sounds marvellous. Album due out in 2027. Other early faves came from Vincent Neil Emerson, Steady Holiday, Hello Emerson, The Burning Hell, Frances Vargas, Lou Turner.. again just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and listen to Ruissalo Amping. Back next week with another of these things. Love.
