Another week, another new music weekly.
New Andres Miguel Cervantes is the album of the week. One of my most anticipated releases of this fall / early winter. Also superb to get a new one from one of the all time power pop greats Dom Mariani. Other big album releases came from Nick Shoulders, Caged Animals, adults, Radioactivity, Snocaps, Guided By Voices, Damien Jurado, Alexa Rose, Zach Thompson (EP), Sophie Jamieson (EP), Christian Kjellvander, Crow vs Lion (EP), Saintseneca, Wes Parker (EP), Canadian Sweetmen (EP) and Chat Pile & Hayden Pedigo.
A lot awesome Finnish stuff too. New albums from Poni, Rock Siltanen Group, Lone Deer Laredo and Saarisalo plus EPs from Una Harnett and Bubblegum Theory. Some mighty good singles too from Joni Ekman, Teini-Pää, Vellamo, (Sulut), Nikita Titov, Morimus and SILVA EMILIA. Teini-Pää is not available on Spotify, which is another good reason to switch to a less evil streaming service.
International single of the week can be the Reese Florence song For August. It actually came out in April, but I only just heard it and fell for it. Other early faves came from Kevin Carducci, The Weather Station, Cameron Knowler, Colter Wall, Josaleigh Pollett… again just to name a few.
That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters though. Back next week with another of these. It will probably be pretty late on Sunday, because Courtney Marie Andrews will be playing in Helsinki on Saturday. 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.
