OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #354

Still sort of searching for the energy for another year of music curation and I haven’t paid enough attention to new music. So I’m sure there’s stuff missing, but here’s what I managed to put together.

Courtney Marie Andrews made the album of the week. One of my long time favorites and maybe you could already say all-time favorites with another wonderful album. Another big one for me is the Logan Farmer album and then there’s also new ones from Jana Horn, Sunday Mourners, Sam Blasucci (EP/Movement), James Hunter Six, The Sha La Das and Rubber Band Gun.

The Finnish music year is also off to a strong start. Absolutely love the new Teini-Pää album. It sets the bar really high for 2026. That one is not on Spotify, so check it out on other streamers or better yet, buy a physical copy. I did just that yesterday at 8raita. We also have other great Finnish albums from Luhtaniitty, Matti Johannes Koivu and Raivo Jackson. Some singles gold too from Anna Inginmaa, Michael Bleu, Jere Ijäs and Vellamo.

New Natalie Jane Hill can be the international single of the week. Other early faves came from Charlotte Cornfield, Julianna Riolino, Cut Worms.. again just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Hopefully I snap out of his hibernation next week and start to listen more. Until then.

OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #353

Another year, another year new music weekly. I almost expanded the hiatus with another week, because the day job has been so hard that I haven’t really gotten any rest. Mostly just been trying to survive. But I think the release schedule will get heavier starting next week, so good to get this round-up out of the way. This was pretty quickly done. I haven’t paid much attention to new releases or really gone through any submissions. So I’m sure there’s stuff missing, but this tries to gather together at least some of the good music of the last month or so. There’s stuff from early December to brand new music from this Friday. Starting next episode I’ll get back to the weekly rhythm and try to read the submissions too. Platforms are still the same. I didn’t even have the time to think about what I’m going to do with that side of things, so Spotify still there as well. Some songs are not, because some artists haven taken their music off from Spotify. And rightfully so. We’ll see how it goes. It would nice to add Qobuz, but I don’t have the money to pick another subscription. Tidal / Qobuz combo might even make the most sense going forward and maybe could cover enough ground to make compiling this worth it.

New Beaucoup Dolores (aka Erin Chapin from Rainbow Girls) album can be the album of the week(s), because it just came out today and I’m enjoying it a lot. Other album releases from the past month came from Noble Hobo, Jeremy James Meyer, Nikki & The Phantom Callers (EP), Matt Kivel, Bill Janovitz (EP), Dan Darrah, Magnus Carlson & The Moon Ray Quintet, The Deslondes (well a reissue with a bonus track), Caleb Stine and Cole Kidwell. Some are from December and some from January.

Finnish part has a December 2025 album from Torrances and a whole lot of singles from both late 2025 and early 2026. There’s new singles gold from Teini-Pää, Musta Valo, Sisar, Krypta, Mummypowder, Felix Alexander Lybeck, Ylva Haru, Susanna Leppänen, Kurja Valentin, Mikko Juvosen Kanuuna, myrtsi, Tuomas Räisänen, Raivo Jackson, Icons of Elegance, Kissa and Litku Klemetti. Teini-Pää and Musta Valo are not on Spotify.

Finally some favorites from the international single category. Anna Tivel’s Animal Poem was my album of the year and there’s a b-sides EP coming up soon from the leftover material. These are equally wonderful and there’s two of those songs here now. Full EP coming later. Some other ones I’ve loved came from Turner Cody, Stripmall Ballads, Jackie West, The Reds, Pinks and Purples, Uni Boys, Bonnie Prince Billy, Charlie Whitten, Talise.. again just to name a few. I’ve listened far less than during ordinary weeks.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsese. It all matters. Starting next week back to ordinary weekly rhythm. Love.

1. Beaucoup Dolores – Don’t You Try to Tell Me It’s Raining (I Don’t Want Any More Friends)
2. Noble Hobo – Washington (Sorry for the Mess)

OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #352

This is the last one for 2025. It’s a grind to compile this every weekend, so I need a little breather and this is always the best time to do it, because there’s less new releases. I know there will be some so I try to feature them when I return in January (week 2 or week 3). I’m not sure will this return in the same shape, form or platforms. This is a good time to ponder that stuff too. But someway somehow somewhere music curation will continue. Anyway, back to the new releases of the week. Well two weeks, because I missed last week due to a family event.

Album of the week(s) is from April, but I fell badly for this Ruth Parker album today. Thanks to Grayson Haver Currin whose insta story led me to this amazing album. Other album gems came from Matthew Dunn, Tulpa, Daudi Matsiko (EP), 0 Stars, Ronnie D’Addario, Melody’s Echo Chamber, Mesa, Richard Allen (EP), Have Gun, Will Travel (EP), The Gunshy, Rambler Kane (EP), The Saints, Julia, Julia, Joel Henry Little and Jesse Sykes & The Sweet Hereafter. A couple other bit older ones that I missed (as an addition to Ruth). Zach Romeo album I picked from New Commute and Danny Ayala and Tchotchke from Daisyalbums on insta. So credit to them.

The big one from Finland is the new Joni Ekman album, but there’s a whole lot to love. There’s albums from Ani Harmi and Timo Kämäräinen plus EPs from Satu Lii and Hyvät Hevoset. Plus singles from Kissa, Ne Lintuizet, Sin Cos Tan, RULES, Pauliina Kokkonen, Hissun Kissun, Anna Inginmaa, Felix Alexander Lybeck, Muuan Mies, Pambikallio, Joonas Holmen + The Lossy Codecs and Kuusikoski. Oh and Teini-Pää single, which is not on Spotify. Another good reason to ditch Spotify, because it’s a wonderful song.

International single of the week(s) is the new Stripmall Ballads song. Other early faves came from Dana Sipos, Courtney Marie Andrews, Tenderness, Sleepy Pearls, The Delines, The Lemon Twigs.. again just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Thank you to all who followed this new music adventure this year whether it was regularly or occasionally. I appreciate you. The new music weekly will be on hold until January, but there will be a lot of year-end lists during the next 1-2 weeks. I hope to get most of them done fairly soon, so I can take it easy around the holidays. I probably make some Christmas playlist too or add new tunes to the old ones, because I didn’t want to put them to this one. I might have even missed some, because I thought they were Christmas songs. I guess I might have also accidentally include one that is a Christmas song, but it wasn’t so obvious. But I’ll share that on social media when I’ve done it. So far I’ve only listened to Melissa Carper’s album. Back next week with the eoty stuff. Love.

OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #351

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.
