Another fairly quickly compiled summer edition of the new music weekly.
So far I’ve spent most time with the beautiful new one from Blair Borax, so that’s the album of the week. Other one on heavy rotation has been the new Joe Wunderle. A great record there as well. Others I haven’t even listened in full yet, but I’m sure I’m going to love several when I have the time to dig in. There are new albums from Chris Staples, T. Hardy Morris, Austin Stambaugh, Charley Crockett, Matthew Payne (a month old EP), Hayes Carll, BettySoo (a few weeks old album that I also missed at the time), Jake Winstrom, Ada Lea, Star Moles, Kissing Other ppl, Rebecca Porter and Field Medic.
The Finnish part is my favorite thing this week, because there’s a new Kristiina song in this messed up world. Wonderful as usual. Love that band so much and I can’t wait to hear the new album sometime in September when it comes out. I’m also very fond of the debut single from Takay-Sin. My listening count is already in double digits. Other Finnish cuts are great new singles from Rebekka Holi, Amuri and Metsäheikki. A short Finnish section, but pure gold all around.
New Joan Shelley is the international single this week, but there’s a lot of gems. Some other big faves came from Mariel Buckley, Dana Sipos, Lucy Dacus, Katie Spencer, Nicholas Jamerson.. again just to name a few.
That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Next week it’s business.. well hobby as usual and there will be a new music weekly. The week after that won’t happen, because I will be watching Lou Hazel, Melissa Carper, Adeem the Artist, S.G. Goodman, Ian Noe, Daniel Romano and many others play live and definitely won’t have the time for this. But one more before the break. 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.
