Another week, another new music weekly.

A rather busy weekend, because of Vappu and hockey overdose. The latter only gets worse now that the NHL playoffs are getting underway. Maybe I need to make some hockey + music combination blog like country cross-check. Anyway, here are the new releases I managed to find this weekend. Some probably flew under my radar.

This was quite a heavy release week. A whole lot of personal favorites this week as well. Let’s give that album of the week title to MJ Lenderman’s new album. Such a great record that makes me feel a couple of decades younger. I’m also a big fan of Steven Lambke, Izaak Opatz and Caroline Spence and all of their albums sound marvellous on first listen. I had never heard of Ivy Wye before I made my usual bandcamp new release search for this new music weekly, but oh my how I instantly fell in love with that EP. I’ve been on the verge of quitting this new music weekly several times, but treasures like this are the reason to do this every weekend. That’s far from all though and there’s also a whole lot more greatness that I’m going to listen more thoroughly during the coming week. There’s new releases from Hanna Haas, Frontperson, Julie & Dany, Tomberlin, Dana Gavanski, Mitch Davis, Jonas Lundvall, Megg Farrell, Erika Lewis, Fountaindale, Melody’s Echo Chamber, Best Bets, Basketball Knees, Jens Lekman (reissue or new, you tell me, good anyway), The Coffis Brothers, Willie Nelson and Peter Donovan.

Strong Finnish singles section too. Last week’s Bandcamp gem from Haamusoittajat is now streaming too. Jari Raaste and Klasu returned with new beauties and some Veli tracks from Bandcamp appeared on these evil platforms too. Every Ylva Haru song is something to love and cherish and then there’s also new singles from Tamara Luonto, Faarao Pirttikangas & Nubialaiset and Team Play. Again several Finnish tracks seem to be missing from Tidal.

Finally the international singles too. The early part of the playlist is filled with new album tracks, but there’s a whole lot of single gold too. We got new ones from Wilco and Caleb Caudle plus further gold from the forthcoming John Calvin Abney, Katie Spencer, Stanhope and Sean Thompson’s Weird Ears albums. Later on the playlist there’s some cover treasures and new songs from Thomas Dollbaum, Mikey Erg, Wharfer and so forth. They would all be worthy of a namedrop on this text part too.

That’s all for this week. The follower count reached 600 this week at least temporarily on the evil Spotify (Tidal doesn’t share such info). That’s hardly viral, but still nice to see that number slowly rising. I know these vanity metrics aren’t really important, but without them it’s kinda hard to tell is anyone interested. So thanks for the follows and 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.

Another week, another new music weekly.

Back to the more normal routine at least for a week. Vappu is already lurking around the corner, which might cause a small delay next weekend. So the next one might be late Sunday unless I’m proactive and get this done early on Saturday. Anyway, here are the great new releases of this current week.

The new Joshua Hedley is the album of the week, but there’s plenty of other gems too. We got new albums from Charley Crockett, Li’l Andy, Drunken Prayer, Abigail Lapell, Chris Brain, Kate Bollinger (EP), Neko Case (retrospective with one new song), Georgia Harmer, Kathryn Joseph, Cheap Star (this has been out for a while, but it wasn’t streaming back then. Maybe it has been for a while, but I have missed it), Jeanines, Crystal Eyes, Sadie Gustafson-Zook, Heaven’s Cameras (a few weeks old that I’ve missed before), Jane Inc and The Johans (EP).

A couple of album beauties from the Helmi Levyt vaults lead the Finnish section. These are Paavoharju & Keskitalo and JLaine. We also got that collaboration EP from Agents and Maustetytöt. Then there’s some fabulous debut singles from Tulio, Ville Miettinen and Suosikki. Oh yeah and Puhelinseksi released another great one from their forthcoming album and AK-77 made a love letter for long drink. AURAL’s beautiful single is a few months old, but first time on this little playlist. My favorite Finnish song of the week is probably that lovely Tulio single. Or actually that might be the new Haamusoittajat song, but that is only on Bandcamp for now. A lot of the Finnish stuff seem to be missing from Tidal, so use Spotify if you want to hear all of them.

And finally the international singles of the week. Plenty to love like always. Shawn Hess has a couple country beauties out there and MJ Lenderman continues to deliver damn brilliant 90s influenced singles. That MJ Lenderman album is going to be so awesome. Merge Records signed Friendship and I love that. And I love their new song. John Moreland announced new album and released first single. Laura Veirs did the same. Some other favorites came from Jo Schornikow, Lindsay Clark, Hanna Haas, Rachel Sermanni. Oh and Sylvie made a superb cover of Hold on Magnolia. Just to name a few. You’ll find them all below.

That’s all for this week. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. I appreciate all that stuff. Sorry for all those awkward transitions on this playlist below. Maybe got bit carried away there. Back next week. Might go until Sunday evening, but we’ll see. Love from a distance.

Another week, another new music weekly.

Here’s a quick easter edition of the new music weekly before the day job misery kicks in. Sorry for the delay. I just needed a little rest during the long weekend and didn’t take the computer with me. Therefore I quickly did this on Monday night after returning. Which means I didn’t really have the time go through all emails etc and therefore this is not a very deep dive into the new releases. I’ll do a better job next week. Yeah, I know I’ve said that three times in a row and it hasn’t really happened yet. But I’ll get there eventually.

My favorite new releases are the new EP from Mila Webb and the albums from Evan J Cartwright, John Craigie and Kaitlin Butts. This week also gave us great new releases from David Quinn, Justin Golden, George Is Lord (Harrison cover action), Stephen’s Shore (EP), Butcher Boy (well a retrospective of should-be pop classics), Janelane (EP), Mal Blum (EP), Milky Wimpshake (well a reissue) and Kurt Vile.

My favorite Finnish release is the first single from the next Ylva Haru album. I’m big fan and can’t wait to hear the new album. Other Finnish singles came from Kadotettu Nuoruus, Kärmes and Modem. KATI and Rami Vierula released EPs and Pelle & Romantiks a full album of poetry. There was probably more, but I’ll add the missing stuff next week.

Last the international singles and there was plenty of them. Some personal favorites are the ones from American Aquarium, Brennen Leigh, Drive-By Truckers, Kristina Murray, Chris Bathgate, Kissing Book & Joey Kneiser (this is a version of a song from that classic Kissing Book album. I didn’t know Joey and Kissing Book shared a history. Kinda like my indie pop past colliding with my current rootsier self), Caroline Spence, Diners, Belle & Sebastian. Again just to name a few.

That’s it for this week. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It may feel silly and pointless, but it matters. Love from a distance.

Another week, another new music weekly.

Sorry for the delay. I’ve been day-to-day with non-covid illness since Thursday. Still not fully recovered, but slowly getting there. At least I managed to put this thing together. It might not be a very deep dive and I’m sure a lot is missing. But here it goes anyway.

Icarus Phoenix, Carla Geneve and VanWyck are my big three of the week. We also got great new albums from Renata Zeiguer, Zachary Cole, Matt Gold, Good Looks, Oceanator, Glory Daze (EP), River Whyless, Madeleine Kelson, Kate Rhudy, Ryan Egan, Dillon Vanders, Calexico and Father John Misty. A few other things too. Pete Mancini has a new album that is not yet streaming plus Mo Troper’s power pop monster from 2021 is now out on vinyl. Check those two out on Bandcamp for example.

Very small Finnish section this time around. There’s an album from Hanna-Maria Lifländer plus singles from Itä-Hollola Installaatio, Bobby Oroza and Pastis. I’m sure there had to be more.

And last but not least the new international singles. Plenty of great ones there. Very fond of the new ones from Joan Shelley, Layten Kramer, Teenage Fanclub, Matt Dorrien, Kyle Cox, S.G. Goodman, Arlo McKinley, Scott Ballew, Mila Webb, The Reds, Pinks and Purples, Thee Illusions, The Deslondes… and the list goes on and on and I might as well name check everything.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. Next week is Easter. I probably will do this anyway, but I have no idea whether that will be on Saturday, Sunday or Monday. We’ll see. Too close to 200 to stop anyway. Maybe that would be a good round number to quit this crazy project and do something else with my weekends. Love from a distance.

Playlist Archive on Tidal

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.
