OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #364

No Comments

Last week I told that I might skip this week. However, there was so much new music that was dear to me that I pulled myself together and made this in the end. Put yeah, it was done as quickly as possible and is almost entirely filled with artists that I already knew. I didn’t have the time to go through submissions.

St. Yuma is the album of the week, because I love them and that’s the only one I’ve really listened properly so far. Sluice, Uni Boys and Charlotte Cornfield form the next big three for me this week and can’t wait to fully dive into those albums. Other great albums this week came from Karen Dahlstrom, Dream Sitch, Spencer Cullum, Lisa Will Insult You, Darling, True Green, Butler, Blake & Grant, Helicopter Leaves, Green Seagull, The Corner Laughers, The New Pornographers, frank Hurricane, CJ Stranger (EP) and Drayton Farley.

Some big Finnish releases too. New single from all time fave Hulda Huima is always a big deal and that new Lala Salama tune is also superb. Plastic Tones album is a great power pop blast. Then there’s also albums from Finding Jens Hortling and Sumuposauttaja plus singles gold from Hyvät Hevoset feat Anis Kiitu, Sin Cos Tan, Väinö Karjalainen, Nevala, Aaron Barone & Emmy June, (Sulut) and Kuusumun Profeetta.

New Evan Blix song can be the international single of the week. 70s kinda gold. Absolutely loved it. New John R. Miller is another big early favorite. Then there’s also new greatness from Styrofoam Winos, Corey Parsons, Beefheart & McQuinn, Alela Diane, Bedouine, Nick Harley, Hiss Golden Messenger, Roger Ramsey, Dakota Theim… again just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Next weekend is Easter and plans are still a bit uncertain. If I will do this or not. And if I do it, what date would that be. We’ll see how things go. Love.

OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #363

No Comments

Another week, another new music weekly. There might be a break after this one though. Next 9 out of 10 days will be day job days and most of them overtime too. Sunday will be the only day off and right now I have no idea whether I have it in me to make this on that one off day. It’s not totally out of the question, but I’m not going to push it if it feels like I need the rest more. But I’ll let you know on the social media channels if there won’t be one next weekend.

Gladie, Luka Kuplowsky and Micah Schnabel & Vanessa Jean Speckman can split the album of the week honors, because they are all great in different ways. The Schnabel / Speckman one has been on Bandcamp for a while, but only just noticed that it was streaming too. Sorry if it was there before and I missed it. But Bandcamp is better anyway. Other album gems this week came from Leah Blevins, The Montvales, Michael Nau(EP), Jack Studer, Spencer Thomas, Danny George Wilson, Joshua Burnside, Morgan Nagler (missed last week), Nick Droz, Les Blackwell, Sean Thomas Gerard, Ryan Pollie (EP), Otoliths, Special Friend, Son Little, SH CRANE, Masahiro Takahashi and Discovery Zone & John Moods (this was previously bandcamp/physical only I think)

The Finnish part has great new albums from Pelkkä Poutanen, Antti Autio, Joose Keskitalo and Saaga. Plus singles from The Lovematches, Matti Jasu, Eidetic Dreams, Pykäri, Telephone Romeo, Vilma Talvitie, Janeveera and Eerika ja Sakari. There’s one 2025 release too and that’s an album from Rakas Eden. So it’s not exactly brand new, but music is relevant whenever it hits the listener’s heart and this one did just that to me this week. I spent hours listening to it and absolutely loved it. Therefore I wanted to include it here as well.

(Actually it’s kind of sad that these days it often feels like album/song is relevant for like two weeks around the release date and then the cycle is over and people move on to other things.. and yeah, I’m probably contributing to that short life cycle sillyness by making a really long weekly playlist that changes every damn week)

New Ian Noe is the international single of the week. That Carsie Blanton & The Burning Hell collaboration made me both laugh and cry. Some other early faves came from Vincent Neil Emerson, Meredith Edgar, Slippers, Charlie Hill, John Andrews & The Yawns, Beche, Cactus Lee, Frog… again just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Another one of these coming someday. Whenever that is remains to be seen. Love.

OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #362

No Comments

Another week, another new music weekly. I try to keep up, but my day job will be a total nightmare for the coming weeks. So we’ll see how big of a hit this hobby project will take. Next weekend I’ll try to do this, but live shows will push it to late Sunday evening. The weekend after that this might be too much due to the day job.

The Outfit and Cut Worms can share the album of the week. Love them both. The Outfit is Daniel Romano’s Outfit, but I bought the vinyl yesterday and it only says The Outfit there. So I guess they go with just that now. Other great album releases came from Spencer Hoffman, Resavoir, Jason P. Woodbury, Cat Clyde, Garrett T. Capps, Tenderness, Joey Frendo, TOMI, Ora Cogan, Rocko Wheeler, Lily Talmers (b-sides EP) and Crow vs Lion (home recorded vestiges). The new Johnny Blue Skies also came out, but that’s a non-streaming one. But a grap a copy from your local record store. That’s better than streaming anyway.

A big Finnish release week. My favorite is the Kielo Kärkkäinen album. What a wonderful release. Then on the rootsy side of things we have a great debut from Tuomas Räisänen. Maustetytöt don’t really need a tiny music blog praising them, but it’s still worth a mention that their album is awesome too. Other Finnish gems this week are album from Muuan mies and singles from Frankie Babyface, Krypta, Tytti Metsä & Hyypiöt, Plastic Tones and Marty’s Random (formerly known as Marty the Random Guy). There’s also a new ITE EEROLA double-CD available in record stores or directly from the artist or record label Panama-levyt.

New Sequoia song can be the international single of the week. A lot of phenomenal singles this week though and I love the new ones from Kiki Cavazos, Thomas Dollbaum and The Lemon Twigs just as much. Other early faves came from The Mellons, Andrew Sa, Touch Girl Apple Blossom and Miguel Mendez feat Pearl Charles.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Most likely back next week with another of these, if the every day life doesn’t suck out all time and energy that I have. Love.
