Toning this down a bit for the remainder of 2025. I plan to do one more this year. I might be too busy next weekend, so maybe I’ll skip that one and do one more during the weekend 6 and 7th of December. It’s Thanksgiving in the US next weekend anyway, so I think it will be a fairly slow release week so I might as well skip that one instead of trying to force it Sunday night or something. Somewhere along the way there will be AOTY lists. Might be even before the next new music weekly, but might be much closer to Christmas too. I have no idea when I’m ready with those.
Haley Heynderickx & Max Garcia Conover is the album of the week. Avry Truex released an album of demo tapes and I love them. A bit of a Woody Guthrie start for this week’s playlist, because Avry’s song is for Woody and Haley & Max album was inspired by the life and music of Woody Guthrie. Other big album releases of the week came from Ryan Necci & The Buffalo Gospel, Sharp Pins, Jacob Furr, Tobias Jesso Jr, Sam Blasucci (EP or Movements 1), Joseph Shabason & Thom Gill, Red River Dialect, Glyders, Magic Fig and Sam Salmon.
New Paha Lucia album leads the Finnish part of this. We also have an album from Kuumaliima and singles from The New Tigers, Ylva Haru, Luhtaniitty, Susanna Leppänen, UTU, Joni Ekman, Torrances and Raivo Jackson.
The international single of the week is the new one from Hailey Davis. Absolutely loved it. She used to perform under the moniker Lady Apple Tree and made onechord.net’s EP of the year some time ago. Somehow I had completely missed that she has signed with Fire Records and performs under her own name now. Well good thing I got the memo now that the second single arrived. The first one is great too, so check it out if you dig the new one. Other early favorites came from Gladie, Noble Hobo, Hank Bee, 54 Ultra, Esther Rose, Adelyn Strei… again just to name a few.
That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Most likely back with these two weeks from now. Maybe a tiny chance of one next weekend, but I doubt I have the time/energy. 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.
