Another week, another new music weekly.
Let’s start with the Finnish ones this time around, because there’s a new Laura Moisio album in this world. And a mighty good one too, but of course I knew that even before listening to it. I’m gonna love that album so much (btw, the whole album was not on Apple (at least not yet), so there’s one of the singles on the Apple playlist). There’s other Finnish gems too. I really like that Ilmi Lupiini Martti EP. That’s a new artist to me, but instantly liked the debut EP. From long time faves there’s a great new Janne Laurila single which is always special. Other Finnish releases this week are album from Pastis and singles from Rock Siltanen Group, Sepä juuri, Vino Puu and Waver (Mia Keurulainen solo).
Moving on to the international releases. Stella Kola and River Crombie have been on heavy rotation early on. Both are very beautiful and moving folk albums in their own way. Stella Kola with a sort of dreamy psych folk type while River Crombie delivers some beautiful man and a acoustic guitar home recordings (River Crombie was not available on Tidal). A long time fave Simon Linsteadt dropped a new one too, so there’s a really soft folk beginning to the playlist. Another big one this week is the new Sunny War album. Other great releases of the week came from Mol Sullivan, Daily Worker, KiDD, Robert Forster, Thorsten Nesch (EP), Jarrod Dickenson, Graham Nicholas, Kayla Von Der Heide (not on Tidal), Mark Erelli, Jonas Friddle (Not on Tidal), Hamish Hawk, Tiny Microhphone, Scott Ballew (EP), Brit Taylor, Lily Monaghan (EP) and Dina Ögon.
And finally the international singles. I love that new one from CARLENE and I can’t wait to hear the new album later this year (This was not on Tidal). Same can be said about The Reds, Pinks and Purples. There’s also more greatness from the forthcoming Iris DeMent album. Other early favorites came from Rose City Band (not on Tidal), Sam Burton, Peg, Wila Frank, Ducks Ltd, Ellie Turner, The Altons, Dillon Warnek, Shana Cleveland and Jana Horn. Again just to name a few and something I didn’t mention here might end up being the one I love the most.
That’s all for this week. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. Love from a distance.

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 Tidal. This means a few tracks might be missing from the Tidal version, if they are not available on that platform. Usually it’s 1-3 tracks that are not on Tidal. There’s a bunch of older episodes on my Spotify profile, if you miss an episode or want to revisit.
If you are looking this after a week has gone, the embedded Spotify will show the latest playlist. I’ll just update the same playlist because if someone wants to follow it, they can just follow that one list and will get a new set of songs each weekend.
