Matti Jasu is set to release a new album

Yeah! Matti Jasu will release an album sometime soon. I’m extremely excited, because the soundbites I’ve heard from this upcoming Matti Jasu & The Loose Train album so far have all been excellent. These include a couple of recording session videos. The great Fingers Crossed video already surfaced late last year, but if you missed that beauty back then, check it out on the brand new Matti Jasu website. This video I posted below is a new video from the same sessions entitled Flood Over the Gate. Marvellous stuff. More information (and another great song) at mattijasu.com.

Treehouse – Top to Bottom

Treehouse released their excellent debut album Top to Bottom on 12th of may. This is country-flavoured pop perfection and one of my favourite Finnish releases of the year. Ok, maybe I shouldn’t get too excited at this point, because so far I’ve only spent one day with the album. But no, that’s not the way we work here at the onechord.net headquarters. I love to get excited about music and albums like Top to Bottom are the reason why this website exists. This just ticks all the right boxes for me. Wonderful vocals, sweet harmonies, beautiful melodies and stylish playing. And a banjo. I’m very much into albums like this or The Decline by Elvyn (obviously extremely useful to namedrop a Canadian band that only a few have heard around these parts of the globe, but everyone should, because The Decline is a masterpiece). Top to Bottom is already available on iTunes and Spotify. There’s a CD version as well, but I’m not sure will that hit the stores or is it only available on concerts / directly from the band. Here are two beautiful songs from the new album.

Mikael H & The Siberians – The President Of Venice Beach

I’m quickly going through the important things that happened while I was watching the hockey playoffs, because I’m way behind at the moment. One major event was that Helmi Levyt released the long-waited new Mikael H & The Siberians album The President of Venice Beach in mid-april. This one below is Friends from the new album. Visit their Soundcloud to hear more songs from the new album as well as old favourites.
