Another week, another new music weekly.

The trouble with this new music weekly thing is that the longer I do this, the more artists I know. Therefore keeping the length of this even somewhat reasonable becomes more and more difficult as time goes by. I know I probably should start cutting this weekly monster back to 40-50 songs, because it has become longer than anyone will listen. But I guess lenght is not that big of a deal, because anybody can listen as much or as little they want.

Let’s get right into the great new music, because there’s plenty of it. MAITA, Sarah Shook & The Disarmers and Hurray for the Riff Raff were the big three for me this week when it comes to international album releases. They can share the imaginary album of the week title. Always cool to see new music from Dylan Rodrigue too. This week also got new ones from Kendra Morris, Khruangbin & Leon Bridges (EP), Big Nothing, Cinder Well & Jim Ghedi, (two song single/EP), Dean Owens, Eric Bolander, Lavender Country, The Jazz Butcher (well this was a week ago), Straight White Teeth, Ryan Dugre (EP), TW Walsh (EP), Modern Studies, Shovels & Rope, Steve Poltz, Kate Ellis, Jon Danforth, The Infamous Stringdusters, The Howard Hughes Suite and Sarah Borges.

The big ones from Finland are albums from Rosita Luu and Sumuhai and an EP from V.Härkönen. Then there’s also a run of singles from Lone Deer Laredo, Muuan Mies, Tapani Rinne & Juha Mäki-Patola, Wasted and Hot Heros.

The list of international (should be) hits is almost never ending. Brennen Leigh’s album announcement and wonderful lead single is a big deal. That can share the single of the week with the latest Darren Hanlon tune. Of course there’s a whole lot more. BMX Bandits released a lovely Valentine’s Day single and Leche Malo & Jeremy Ferrara released a great split single. Long time faves Steven Lambke, Katie Spencer, Sylvia Rose Novak and Frontperson all made album announcements accompanied with a mighty good first single. We also got further single gold from the forthcoming albums by MJ Lenderman, VanWyck, Jerry Leger, Georgia Harmer, Renata Zeiguer, Carla Geneve and so forth. Some new to me artists also impressed me. For example Mitch Davis, Kitty Perrin, Erika Lewis and Evan Barber. Just to name a few.

That’s it for this week. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters in the lonely blogosphere. Love from a distance.

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 a) if someone wants to follow it, they can just follow that one list and will get a new set of songs each Sunday b) so that I don’t have a trillion of different playlists on my Spotify account. If you want to find the older ones I’ve moved them to the weekly playlist archive. So hit that link above and I’m sure you’ll find this playlist too.

Another week, another new music weekly.

I’m also on vacation from the factory day job. Which is nice. I hope I manage to write some blog posts too. No definite promises though. But first Super Bowl and then sleeping most of Monday because of it. Even before that, here’s the new music weekly. Still available on three different platforms (Tidal, Spotify and Apple Music).

A couple of really big album releases this week. The Delines is my album of the week, but that Big Thief album fully deserves all the hype it has received. Love them both. There’s plenty of other gems too. There’s new albums from The Cactus Blossoms, Anthony St. James (this is a 2021 release that is now also available on these evil streaming platforms), Jason Scott & The High Heat, Frank Turner, Carrie Biell, Gina Leslie (EP), Lotte Kestner, Spoon, Night Shop, Mr. Husband (also available on Bandcamp before, but now streaming) Wesley Bright, Devon Lamarr Organ Trio, Stephanie Lambring (this was here on 2021 when it first came out, but why not include it again now that she rereleased with Thirty Tigers), Rue Snider, Jane Bruce, Tomato Flower (EP), Allison Moorer (EP).

A bit short Finnish section this time around, but there is an excellent run of singles from Aava, Lake Huttula, Knipi and Torrances. I’m sure there had to be more.

So much to love on the international singles side of things. Dakota Hall Scott and John Calvin Abney can share the song of the week title. I’m a big fan of both and hearing the first singles from their forthcoming new albums made my week significantly better. Micah Schnabel’s new single that I bought from a Bandcamp a week back is also now streaming. That’s another one that matters a great deal to me. There’s plenty more though and I’m very much enjoying the new ones from Ian Noe, Spencer Thomas, Tejon Street Corner Thieves, Erin Enderlin, Devil’s Coattails, Carson McHone, Jo Schornikow, Dylan Rodrigue, Johanna Samuels, Apollo Ghost, Evan J Cartwright, Andy Shauf, Kyle Morgan, Sophie & The Broken Things, Reilly Downes and Madeleine Kelson. Well just to name a few. There’s gold throughout the way too long playlist. Like that new Willie Nelson treasure close the end.

That’s it for this week. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It may feel pointless, but even just hitting that like button matters more than you will ever know. Hopefully some kind of blog posts next week, but we’ll see how this vacation goes. Love from a distance.

Another week, another new music weekly.

A big week in music, because we have a new Erin Rae album in this world. Absolutely love it based on a few early spins and I don’t expect my feelings to change in the future. Josienne Clarke’s EP and the new album from The Reds, Pinks and Purples also matter a great deal to me. There’s plenty more though, which I will listen more thoroughly during the week. We have new albums from The High Water Marks, Ryan Allen (EP that has been on Bandcamp a couple of weeks, Matt Fockler, Mikayla McVey, Gold Light, Jana Pochop, Mitski, Carl Schilde, Cate Le Bon, Seafarers, Heal & Harrow, Marissa Nadler (EP), Love, Burns, Good Morning Bedlam and The Rave-Ups.

From Finland there’s new albums from Keidas, Rohkeat Kuvat and Ite Eerola. Plus a Kalevala themed various artists collection that features some of my favorite artists like Kielo Kärkkäinen and Laura Moisio. Then there’s also great singles from Pintandwefall and M.

And finally the international (should be) single hits. That Lucy Dacus single is fabulous and perhaps my favorite along with the new Joshua Hedley song. We also got gold from David Quinn, Caroline Spence, Scott Ballew, Dana Gavanski, Cactum Blossoms, Bastards of Soul, Young Guv, Ryan Dugre, Triptides, Arre! Arre!, Bastards of Soul, Jacksonport and many others.

That’s it for this week. I did write a few short blog posts this week. I’m not sure are such small things helpful, but I guess it can’t hurt either. Maybe I’ll continue. Don’t really know for sure. This new music weekly is still on Spotify, Tidal and Apple Music. Choose the one you hate the least and buy some music if you are able to do that. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. Love from a distance.

Another week, another new music weekly.

It’s been a big week in the streaming world. Hopefully it leads to a positive change, but we shall see how it goes. It would be about time to fix streaming so that it will make sense for the artists as well. Of course this current storm didn’t start from that aspect, but hopefully it takes us into that conversation. And on some level it has. I’m not fully convinced that the other platforms are significantly better, but Spotify definitely deserves all the heat they are getting. Plus maybe this kind of small dent in their giant market share makes the streaming world a tiny bit healthier. Well as long as people do subscribe to another service or start buying music again. The awful scenario is that people quit Spotify Premium out of principle without making alternative steps to support musicians and that would only be a net loss for everyone. It could also be that nothing happens and nobody remembers this month from now. Anyway, I think I will personally keep on using Tidal for my own streaming and sync the playlist to Spotify. I probably have to drop Apple Music after the trial, because I prefer Tidal’s interface and my low end factory job doesn’t justify paying for multiple services. Although like I said before, I’d happily pay $30 a month for streaming if the money goes to the artists that I listen to. I haven’t made any final decisions yet and as for now, the new music weekly is still on Spotify, Tidal and Apple Music. So feel free to select the service you hate the least.

The album of the week is probably the new beautiful Maya de Vitry album. I’ve already listened it several times and really like it a lot. Sad Daddy and Ryan Culwell are other big early favorites from this week’s batch. Actully Sad Daddy’s Up in the Hills is probably my favorite song of the week. That’s not all though and we also got great new releases from Anaïs Mitchell, Stephen Simmons (EP), Simone Felice, Brent Cobb, North Mississippi Allstars, Modern Nature, Josephine Foster, Eels, Bad Heaven Ltd, Wish Kit (EP), The Sad Tomorrows (EP), Steve Gunn (EP), St. Paul & The Broken Bones, Scott Robertson (EP), Chris Bathgate (well just a reissue), Anna Wiebe (EP), Armbruster, Kimberly Morgan York, Fruit Bats (rarities collection) and Clever Hopes. Oh yeah and that Feutre album is from December, but I missed it back then.

The Finnish section has EPs from Liljankukka and Marko Nyberg and an album from Spring Teeth plus a great run of singles from Amuri, V. Härkönen (really love this one), Rohkeat Kuvat, The Skiffs, Pambikallio, Riitaoja and Tapani Rinne & Juha Mäki-Patola. The Skiffs is a new group but you may know the members Jukka Salminen, Ville Wacklin and Antti Westman from things like Jukka Ässä, Brighboy and Jalava. Oh and then we of course revisit the fabulous Teini-Pää album from the past week.

The international single of the week is the new one from Jerry Leger. Other big favorites came from Erisy Watt, MJ Lenderman, The Weather Station, Madeleine Mosse and Matt Bauer, Ex-Vöid, Georgia Harmer, Slow Motion Cowboys, Freakons, The Inflorescence and Tomberlin. Again just to name a few. All would be worthy of a name drop on this text too, but you’ll find them from the list below.

That’s it for this week. I surprised myself and last week I made a blog post that was not a playlist. We shall see if that was one-off or not. I don’t really have a clue yet. I’d like to do more, but somehow the days usually just flow by because this is just a spare time hobby for me. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. 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

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 a) if someone wants to follow it, they can just follow that one list and will get a new set of songs each Sunday b) so that I don’t have a trillion of different playlists on my Spotify account. If you want to find the older ones I’ve moved them to the weekly playlist archive. So hit that link above and I’m sure you’ll find this playlist too.
