Another week, another new music weekly.
New Stripmall Ballads is the album of the week. What a special album from a long time favorite. Other great album releases came from Jeremy Ivey, Luke Norton, The Nude Party, Rubber Band Gun & Joey Joesph, Jon Danforth, Remember Sports, Gentle Brontosaurus (Thanks to Rosy Overdrive for this one), The Sky Chiefs, Rod Smoth and The Olympians.
Finnish part of this has new full lengths from Emmy June and Kissa plus singles from Plastic Tones, Telephone Romeo, Risto, Koisjärven Disko, Vilma Talvitie feat Pekko Käppi, HXA feat DJ Noofi and Hal Wickman.
International single of the week is the new Kiki Cavazos song. I usually put the singles after all album cuts on the playlist, but I made an exception here because new Kiki Cavazos songs need whatever spotlight I can give them. I look forward to hearing more. Other early faves came from St. Yuma, Hiss Golden Messenger, The Delines, Spencer Cullum, Gladie, Touch Girl Apple Blossom, Plastic Family, Icarus Phoenix, Austin Stambaugh, Rachel Brooke, Vincent Neil Emerson, Blair Borax, TJ Douglas, Katie Pruitt, Chet Sounds.. again just to name a few. There was a lot this week and the playlist is again longer than anyone will listen.
That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. 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.
