A giant release week late in the year with a couple of AOTY worthy new ones from Sylvie and Willi Carlisle. I love them both. Also great new albums from Lou Turner, Wilder Maker, Carmen Quill, Hayden, Sofia Wolfson, Hello Shark, Lammping, Natalie Bergman (EP), Twisted Teens, Slack Times, Temp Wishes, The Gnomes (EP), Austin Cash & Nathan Smerage, Freddy Trujillo (this one is from late September, but I missed it at the time), Grayson Capps, Eliot Bronson and Jack Blocker.
On the Finnish side of things, I’m really excited that there’s new music coming from MeriTuuli. A wonderful new single now and full album in 2027. Some great album releases this week too from Anis Kiitu, Sisar, Inariveljet and Paula ja Olli plus singles from Lala Salama, Suosikki, Herttua, Ville Rauhala, Eva Louhivuori feat Knipi and Pratt & Moody feat Cold Diamond & Mink.
The international single of the week can be the first one from a collaboration project that features Spencer Cullum, Erin Rae and Hollow Hand. Quite a line up. Some other early faves came from Quivers, Alela Diane, Clayton Linthicum & Quinn Bachand, Magnolia & Johnson Electric Co, Fernando Viciconte, Justin Kline, Whitney’s Playland… again just to name a few.
That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Back next week with another of these things. 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.
