Another week, another new music weekly.
Spent the week mostly listening to NHL podcasts, because of the trade deadline. So there’s probably plenty of stuff I missed. Still somehow managed to put together 70 song playlist in one day.
Sluice, I’m Kingfisher and Slaid Cleaves is my big three for this week. All wonderful in their own way. This week we also got new albums from Drayton Farley, Amanda Fields, Dogs at Large, H.Self, Hollow Hand, Jen Cloher, Bard’s Flying Vessel, Thorsten Nesch (EP), Ryan Allen, The Minks, Nate Fredrick (EP) and Joshua Quimby (EP).
The new albums from Ulla Kolla and Fernet Underground lead the Finnish release week. Two quite different albums, but equally brilliant. Bleak Moments, Ria & The Hi-Binders and Radio Supernova also have great new albums and then there’s excellent new singles from Ilja Karsikas, Tinyhawk & Bizzarro, Lempi Elo and Vellamo.
A lot of international singles too. New Kassi Valazza is the song of the week. We also have a new song from NQ Arbuckle which is nice. Laith is the latest Fluff & Gravy signee and have a single out there. New Zach Pack, Dylan Earl, Robert Ellis also gorgeous. From the poppier side of things we have gems from Bart, The Reds, Pinks and Purples, The Laughing Chimes, Dim Wizard, Lachlan Denton and so forth. And on the latter parts of the list there’s new song treasures from Michael Cormier-O’Leary, Hayden, Tommy Prine, Leo Walrus and many others. Too early to tell which will become biggest favorites.
That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Next week will also be a Sunday update, because I’m busy on Saturday.

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 Tidal. This means a few tracks might be missing from the Tidal version, if they are not available on that platform. Usually it’s 1-3 tracks that are not on Tidal. There’s a bunch of older episodes on my Spotify profile, if you miss an episode or want to revisit.
If you are looking this after a week has gone, the embedded Spotify will show the latest playlist. I’ll just update the same playlist because if someone wants to follow it, they can just follow that one list and will get a new set of songs each weekend.
